AI summary

Reviewers receive review assignments via Teams notification and see them as cards in the Rencore Teams App. The complete review process includes viewing workspace information and guidelines, managing owners and members, removing access permissions, reviewing all changes, and submitting or rejecting the review.

Reviewers never see the Review Builder. When a cycle starts, they get the notification email from the Communication tab and a review card in the Rencore Teams App in Microsoft Teams. This page follows one review from the card to completion.

To see how the review is set up, see Configuration.

Before you begin

  • The Rencore Teams App is installed in your tenant. See Install the Rencore Teams App.
  • No Rencore Governance role is needed to complete a review assigned to you.

The review card

The Active tab of Reviews lists every review assigned to the reviewer, the ones due soonest first. Each card shows the service icon, the workspace name and type, the other reviewers and the due date. The due date comes from Review duration.
