New Product Proposals All elements in the Products module whose type is a folder is false AND Status is Product Proposal AND Parent Folder is Our Product Portfolio, or any subfolder The portfolio manager can make transitions. In the workflow, all attributes are set to As View.
Product Proposals For Me to Handle All elements in the Products module whose type is a folder is false AND Status is (Allocated to investigator OR Under investigation OR Approved for business case creation OR Finalize business case) AND Parent Folder is Our Product Portfolio, or any subfolder AND Responsible is Current User This view has products that are in several states. You can make transitions. Depending on the state, certain products must have either editable, visible, or hidden attributes.

All products in states that are filtered by this view rule are handled by a product proposal investigator. To handle those products, the investigator uses the link in the Responsible attribute. As the investigator creates the product proposal, they create high- and detailed-level business cases. The investigator then sends the proposals to the product portfolio committee. The workflow for states is defined so that different attributes are editable.

For example, a product in the Allocated to investigator state is assigned to the product proposal investigator. Only a few attributes are visible and editable. When the product proposal investigator transfers the product to the Under investigation state, more attributes are visible and editable. When the product transfers to the Approved for business need state by the product portfolio committee, the product proposal investigator can edit and see all attributes that form the complete business case.

For example, a product in the Ready for review state is a product proposal with a complete business case that is to be reviewed by the product portfolio committee.
