Approving and rejecting a request
From the approval inbox you can approve a request so it moves to the next level (or completes), or reject it so it goes back to the requester. Both actions let you add notes.
- Approvals — Open the Approvals group in the menu.
- Inbox — Then choose Inbox.
Steps
- Open Approvals → Inbox from the left menu.
- Find the request you want to act on. To review the full details first, click the view (eye) button in the Actions column.
- To approve it, click the green check button in the Actions column.
- In the Approve Request dialog, optionally type your Remarks.
- Click Approve.
- To reject it, click the red cross button in the Actions column.
- In the Reject Request dialog, type a Notes value — this is required; you must give a reason.
- Click Reject.
What you'll see
- When you approve a step in a multi-level flow, a message confirms the approval and tells you which step comes next.
- When you reject a request, it leaves your inbox and the requester is informed of the outcome.
- Either way, the list refreshes and the row disappears once it's no longer yours to act on.
Troubleshooting
- The reject button does nothing. A reason is mandatory — enter text in the Notes field, then click Reject.
- You see an error that the request is already finalised. Someone else, or another level, has already completed it. The list refreshes and the stale row clears.
