Application Activation

This topic explains how to configure what happens when an application is activated (when FireFlow is connected).

• Administrators can require every activation to generate a change request—ensuring that changes are applied through the network security policy—or allow users to decide whether to create one.

• If users are given a choice, administrators can also set the default behavior of the confirmation popup that appears when Activate Application is clicked, choosing whether the Generate a change request option is selected by default.

Application Activation Configuration Options

To configure what happens when an application is activated:

Do the following:

1. Navigate to the Administration area: Hover over the SETTINGS icon at the bottom left of the screen. After the panel expands, click ADMINISTRATION.

   The Administration area appears in the workspace.

   

2. Click the CUSTOMIZATION tab. The customization tab opens.

   

3. In the Application Activation area, Select as follows:

   Setting	Enabled	If Disabled
   Default to change request on activation	When you click Activate Application, the confirmation popup appears with “Generate a change request” selected.	When you click Activate Application, the confirmation popup appears with “Generate a change request” unselected.
   Require change request for activation	A change request is always required to activate a draft application.	You can activate a draft application either with or without creating a change request.
