Approvals Page

The approvals page lists the approvals required in various states for an object.

To access this page:

View the navigation pane for the object. Then from the object's navigation pane, click Approvals.

Several types of objects have an Approvals category on the navigation pane, including deliverables, projects, project concepts, tasks, and documents. The Approvals page lists all the signer requirements that must be fulfilled before the item can be promoted through its lifecycle. For example, a policy could have a signer requirement for promotion from the Create and Review states and the item has 2 blocking routes. This page would list the 4 approval requirements, with a line for each required approval. The project policy shipped with Project Management does not contain signer requirements. This is only an example of how your system could be set up.

As another example, the policy for a task has no signer requirements but could have a blocking route with 3 tasks. The route name is listed under the Route column and the task assignees are listed in the Signer column. The comments entered by the assignees as they completed their task are listed in the Description column.

For working with signature requirements, see Installation and Setup > Customize > Legacy Tools > MQL Command Reference > policy Command > Modifying Signature Requirements. If you do not add signature requirements, you may want to remove the Approvals category from the object type's tree menu.
