How to Use Thumbs Up / Down Approvals in CORE
This type of approval method is intended for group feedback.
The votes on a file aren't averaged by a positive or negative response.
Either the vote is unanimously positive, in which case a green Thumbs Up appears on the file;
Or it appears as a red Thumbs Down whenever there is at least one negative response.
The reason behind this is so you can catch any issues with your files and packages BEFORE a problem arises.
Thumbs Up/Down approvals are great for teams about to send packages for executive review, or before specs are sent to a manufacturer or ordered, for example.
How to Approve or Reject a File Using Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down
To Approve or Reject a File, just click on the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon.
You can then leave a message along with your approval. Click the Update button to save your message.
