In System Center 2012 – Service Manager, you can use the following procedures to approve a review activity and complete a manual activity for a service request in the Service Manager console. In many cases, multiple people or groups must vote to approve a single review activity before its approval is final. After approval, a service request might need a manual activity completed to verify that the service was provided to the requesting user and to close the service request.
