Approvals

The Approvals page displays the Approval Gate executions. ISD provides an approval mechanism for deployments. To make an informed decision regarding pipeline execution, an approver may need to check the data from multiple data sources, such as CI Systems, Repositories, SAST/DAST Tools etc. ISD provides Approval Gate feature which fetches relevant information from multiple CI/CD Tools and presents the data in one place, to enable the user to make a quick and informed decision on pipeline execution. This Gate can be inserted as a stage in your CI/CD Pipeline.

The appropriate data sources must be configured in the Setup -> Integration view before the Approval stage can be used.

The Approval Gate is added to a pipeline in your application by accessing Pipeline Builder -> Add Stage. Refer Approval Gate.

When pipelines are run and the executions are successful, the approvals are displayed in this page.
