Note
Some of the text and images below may not match what you see in your Journey Workspaces app. This is because the features described are based on a default Journey Workspaces configuration, and your Workspaces app may be configured differently; for example, with your company's branding, with fields for other information, or with a custom layout. Nevertheless, the features described work the same way in every Workspaces app.
Applications submitted by new and existing customers are not always able to be approved or declined immediately. Pending applications are referred to bank staff for their attention in determining whether or not an application is successful. Staff
can use
Workspaces to review and resolve pending applications efficiently, minimizing any delays and contributing to higher customer satisfaction.
The default
Workspaces configuration includes a
Review space, complete with a
List screen and a
Details screen configured with features designed to make application processing fast and efficient.
The Review space works in conjunction with the Document Requestsspace, providing a mechanism for interaction between applicants and reviewers; in particular, to enable communication between an applicant and bank staff when the applicant needs to upload documents required for application processing. | 22.10
This feature was introduced in 22.10.

The List screen in the Review space displays a list of tasks from the selected queue, taking into consideration the current view and any active search, filter and sort options. The name of the active queue is displayed in the Queue selector, and the name of the current view is highlighted in the View selector. Each row in the item list shows information for a single task including an SLA indicator that identifies how application processing is progressing against the terms of your SLA. Rows can be expanded to show additional details. To learn more about the item list, see Understanding the
WorkspacesList screen > Item list.
The items displayed satisfy global filter requirements imposed by the Created Datefilter, and can be further refined using other search, filter and sort options. Searching and filtering restrict which tasks are displayed in the item list, while sorting determines the order that items appear in the list. To learn more about these options, see Search for a task or application, Filter the item list and Sort the item list.
Once you've found the task you're interested in, you can select it in the item list to perform an action on it. To learn about the available actions, see Actions below.

The
Claim,
Release, and
Decision actions are described below in the context of the
Review space, including examples of how to use them.
Claim and
ReleaseTasks
When you want to work on a task, you can select it in the item list and claim it so that everyone will know you are working on it. Once you have claimed a task, other actions may become available for you to perform on that task; in particular, taking a decision about whether or not an application is successful. When you no longer need to work on the task, you can release it so that it can be assigned to someone else.
You can claim a task that is not already assigned to anyone, thereby assigning it to you, but you can’t claim a task that has already been assigned to someone else. Also, you can't use the Claim action to assign a task to someone else, only to yourself. To assign a task to someone else, you need to have access to the Assign action, normally only available to managers and supervisors.
You can release a task that is assigned to you, but you can’t release a task that is assigned to someone else. Releasing a task returns it to the pool of unassigned tasks in the item list, allowing it to be assigned to someone else.
Take a Decision
When you have all the information you need about a task, you can take a decision on the task's outcome. Taking a decision on a task completes the task and moves it along in its life cycle.
The Decision action is available only from the Details screen in the Review space, and only for tasks that are assigned to you; you cannot take a decision for a task that is assigned to someone else. When you take a decision, you must provide both the decision (representing some outcome, assessment or result) and a note supporting the decision. The note is important because it helps others to understand how you arrived at your decision, and may be prefilled with relevant information.
If you don't have all the information you need to complete the decision right now, you can click Save (at step 6) to save the information you have entered and complete the decision later. Subsequently, when you are ready to complete the decision, repeat the necessary steps above to return to the Decisionmodal window, update the Decision and Note as required, and then click Submit to record the decision you have made.
Step-by-step examples are also available for other actions and features that you may need while processing applications. These examples are demonstrated in other spaces as indicated.
This example shows you how to claim a
task on the
List screen, using the search feature to locate the
task to be claimed.
Login to
Workspaces and select the Review space. The
List screen is displayed.
Click in the searchSearch box then type the full App ID to search for
tasks with this App ID. In this example, the App ID is "79V3QN7", and two
tasks are found.
Point your cursor at the
task that you want to claim – the available actions appear at the right-hand side. Click
library_addClaim to assign the
task to yourself.
The A message confirming you have claimed the task is displayed briefly in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Alternatively, you can click the
task to display its application details and then click the Claim button on the
Details screen.
Release a Task
This example shows you how to locate a
task using the filter feature then release the
task so that it's no longer assigned to you.
Login to
Workspaces and select the Review space.
Click Filter to display the Filters selector then enter one or more filters that will help you to narrow down
the list of
tasks and make it easier to see the
task you want to release. In this example, we know that the application was created on 15 July 2020, so we'll filter on that date.
Now, you can release the task. Point your mouse at the
task you want to release. The available actions appear at the right-hand side. Click open_in_newRelease and the
task will be assigned no longer. A message confirming that you have released the
task is displayed briefly in the bottom left corner.
Alternatively, you can click the
task to display its details, then click Release on the
Details screen.
Approve an Application
This example shows you how to take a decision about a task assigned to you so that the associated application progresses in its life cycle. In this example, we'll kick off the process to send an application for a fraud check then save without submitting so that we can go and find some information we need for the supporting note. Finally, we'll resume and complete the decision process.
Follow the steps in the previous example to claim a task. Note that you could replace the search with any options that help you to locate the task. You can skip this step if you've just done it or if the task you want to act on is already assigned to you.
Click the task to display it's application details then click call_splitDecision to display the Decision window.
call_splitDecision is located in the Actions group.
call_splitDecision is located within the selected task in the application timeline.
The Decision button is located in the Action panel.
Notice that the Choose a Decision box is empty. Select an option in the Choose a Decision list that matches the decision we want to take; in this case, Fraud Check. We need to include information in our note to support the decision but can't recall the exact details, so click Save and close the Decision window, returning to the Details screen.
With the Decision window closed, we can find the application details we need to support our decision. Once we've found the supporting information, click Decision to display the Decision window again. Notice that the Choose a Decision box still has the value Fraud Check that we selected previously. Enter the note supporting our decision, then click Submit.
After submitting the decision, Workspaces returns to the List screen where the task may not be available because it may no longer satisfy the active search or filter criteria; for example, it may be on a different queue.
