The Approvals Tabs: All, Requires My Approval, On Hold, Rejected
The four approvals tabs organize the request queue by state: All Requests, Requires My Approval, On Hold, and Rejected — so an approver's day starts with their decisions, not with everyone's.
A flat list of every request in the company serves administrators and no one else. The tabs filter the same data to each viewer's job. The product reference: the approval center; the actions taken there: the five actions.
The four tabs
- Requires My Approval — the work queue: requests at a stage where you're an assigned approver. The tab that opens first, deliberately.
- All Requests — the full pipeline, every state, for the organization view
- On Hold — paused requests: the Hold action — with what they're waiting on
- Rejected — ended requests with their recorded reasons: the accountability archive
Why "Requires My Approval" is the design keystone
The failure mode of shared queues is diffusion — 400 requests in a list, each waiting on one specific person, everyone assuming someone else. The personal queue makes responsibility atomic: if it's in your tab, it's yours, and the timers on it are yours. Responsibility that can't be diffused gets acted on.
Frequently Asked Questions
