Advanced Workflow Approvals

Use the Workflow Approvals page to perform approval tasks that are assigned to you. Approval types are identified by tabs. Options described here apply to all approval types.

Each tab of the Workflow Approvals page displays a list of pending approvals assigned to the approver. The number of pending approvals is indicated on the tab.
One column in each list page displays as links. Select the link to open a detail page with more request information, including financial information and other details.
Approvers can perform approval activities and bulk actions from the list page, but it is recommended to open detail pages to review each request before doing so.

Additional information about the fields and details for each approval type is defined on related online help pages.
