Test Sign-Offs
Test Sign-Offs in ManagementStudio allow project administrators to define and manage testing protocols across multiple modules. Common use cases include User Acceptance Testing (UAT), Quality Assurance (QA), and Compatibility Testing. Test Sign-Offs enable the design of scenario-specific questions, notification of testers, collection of responses, and reporting on test outcomes.
This guide uses the Applications module as an example; the same process applies to User Migrations, Devices, Deployment Units, Bespoke, and Defects modules.

Administration→Portal Settings→Test Sign-Offs. - In the Portal Elements tree view, select an existing Test Sign-Off or click
Create a New Test Sign-Offin the toolbar and select the relevant module.
