Change Request (CR) Portal Guide
How to request a change to your Bigsun software and follow it from request and estimate to approval and development.
What is the CR portal?
Over time every business needs something changed in its software. The Change Request (CR) portal gives your management one place to ask for a change and to follow it from the first request until the development is done, so nothing depends on phone calls or scattered emails.
How a change request moves
Management raises the CR
A member of your management raises the change request in the CR portal.
Bigsun sends an estimate
Bigsun studies the request and sends the estimate to the client.
Client and Bigsun approve
The change request is approved by the client and by Bigsun.
Development is taken up
Once it is approved by both sides, the development is taken up.
Follow it from start to end
At every stage the CR portal shows the process from start to end, including the step the development is currently in.
Always know where your change stands
You do not need to ask for status updates. The CR portal shows the complete process of your change request, from the day it was raised to the step the development has reached today.
Need help with an issue instead?
A change request is for something new or different. For support needs and issues, raise a ticket in the Support Portal.
