If the Start a new review workflow action is not available on the used Codebeamer instance, check the system configuration.

Since Codebeamer release 8.0, a standard mechanism is provided for the following:
• Reviews.
• Approvals
The (work) items in specific states without the need for an extra Approvals tracker and forking extra Approval tasks, as shown in Forking sub-processes from processes (work items).
This workflow-based review mechanism gives control over the following:
• The specific (work) item states where reviews should be performed.
• The Reviewers (set of users that are exclusively allowed/qualified to review/approve the (work) item in that specific state).
• The Review configuration:
◦ What type of electronic Signature (extra reviewer authentication) is required for submitting votes:
▪ None - The user login is sufficient.
▪ Password - The user must enter her/his password.
▪ Username and Password - The user must enter her/his username and password.
◦ In which function/role did a reviewer perform the review (optional, only since Codebeamer 10.0)
◦ How many approvals (positive votes) are necessary for the subject item to be considered successfully Reviewed/Approved?
▪ What should be the designated status of approved (work) items?
◦ How many rejections (negative votes) are allowed before the subject item should be considered Rejected/Declined?
▪ What should be the designated status of rejected (work) items?
