Configuring Checklist Recommendations

On This Page
This content applies solely to Requirements Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform.

Introduction

Access the Requirements Management Settings site and set up tasks to configure which checklists you want the solution to automatically recommend for new requirements.

Requestors can still manually select a checklist from the list of all checklists or select one of the recommended checklists that RM automatically suggests based on the criteria you configured. If you want to restrict users from manually selecting checklists for new requirements, you can have a system admin disable this capability using the AS_RM_TMG_BOL_REQUIRED_CHECKLIST_RECOMMENDATION constant. They can also disable the entire feature using the AS_RM_TMG_BOL_CHECKLIST_RECOMMENDATION constant.
