Approval Gate

A gate is an access point that allows you to stop the pipeline to automatically go to the next stage. A gate helps you to manually intervene and verify or approve a stage of the pipeline before moving on to the next stage in the sequence. Adding a Gate in ISD allows you to either automate your pipeline based on data from supported data sources.

There are four types of gates you can add:

• Approval

• Verification

• Test Verification

• Policy
