About prereview and postreview processes

Prereview and postreview processes require specific named input and output variables. The custom processes that you create must be deployed in a separate application and can be found using the findCustomRCAProcess operation in the ReviewCommentingAndApprovalUtil service. You can use the operation to retrieve a list of all the prereview and postreview process names available on the server. Then, configure the review template to use the prereview or postreview process for a given review stage.

Note: Custom prereview and postreview processes are not invoked when the specified parameters are not used.
