What's the purpose of "approval group" field in CMDB table?

[Kento Takahashi]

Hi all,

CMDB table has an field called "Approval Group".

In which usecase is this field used?

For examle, after someone inserts CI record to CMDB table, the member in "Approval Group" can approve?

Or is there any workflow which "Approval Group" is needed to proceed workflow related to CMDB?

If you know, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, it is just an explanation, but not the description of purpose.

lets take an example: 

you have incident form and there is column configuration item, Based on the CI's you want to set the assignment group then in this scenario you can use the cmdb_ci table column "Assignment Group".

i have seen such cases where group has been set based on CI's .

If I am not mistaken, this is if a Change Request is input for a specific CI. It will request approval from members within the approval group. This is how it was used at my previous organization.
