BUSINESS DATA REQUESTS · Workflow idea

Get the business records you need, with access kept in view.

Use a clearly defined request to retrieve information from the records your team maintains. Limit the request to its business purpose, protect sensitive fields, and have a qualified owner review any request that could change records.

5 tasks.

Uses an approved business-data request to retrieve matching records from the organization’s chosen information source.

  1. Define the business question

    State what information is needed and how the result will support the team’s work.

  2. Confirm which records are in scope

    Identify the relevant business records and avoid requesting unrelated or unnecessary personal information.

  3. Review the request for its impact

    Have a qualified owner confirm that the request is appropriate, especially if it could change or remove records.

  4. Retrieve the approved information

    Run the reviewed business request against the selected records and return the available results.

  5. Check the result before relying on it

    Verify its scope, completeness, and accuracy with the record owner before using it for a business decision.

The handoff

A set of matching business records or a clear indication that no result was returned, ready for an authorized person to inspect.

Keep in mind

Returned information may be incomplete or sensitive, and a successful result does not confirm that it is correct for every purpose. Use least access, verify records before decisions, and require qualified review for requests that may alter information.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the approved information source

Select the business records the team is allowed to use and document who owns them.

Set access to the minimum needed

Limit record access to the fields and people required for the defined business purpose.

Define review for sensitive or changing requests

Name a qualified reviewer for requests involving sensitive details or any change to stored records.

Test with safe sample information

Confirm that the requested results are scoped correctly and that sensitive fields are not exposed unnecessarily.
