After a change request is approved, the original Requester can schedule the change for the production environment. The change can be immediate or set for a future time.

To schedule an immediate change

  1. The Requester logs onto the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and clicks In Progress from the left pane.

  2. The Requester clicks the Approved status for the change request.

    The Schedule changes page appears.

  3. The Requester clicks Now, and then clicks Save.

    The update is scheduled to immediately update the production environment, and an email is sent to the Requester. After the update finishes, the Requester is asked to verify the changes.

To schedule the change for a different day or time

  1. The Requester logs onto the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and clicks In Progress from the left pane.

  2. The Requester clicks the Approved status for the change request.

    The Schedule changes page appears.

  3. The Requester clicks Schedule, sets the Preferred day, Preferred start time, and the Preferred end time, and then clicks Save.

    The update is scheduled to update the production environment on that day and time and an email is sent to the Requester. After the update finishes, the Requester will be asked to verify the changes.

Next steps

After the update to the production environment completes, the Requester must again test the change. If the testing succeeds, the Requester can sign off on the change request. If the testing fails, the Requester can contact the Administrator group for more help. For the production environment testing steps, see the Verify the change request update in the production environment using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal topic.
