My Approvals

The My Approvals page shows approval requests where you are involved — either as a decision-maker, or as the person who submitted the request.

Where to Find It

Me > Approvals

Open Approvals from the Me portal navigation. The entry appears when you belong to an organization — it is not shown to attendee-only accounts.

The Me Approvals page with no pending requests for this user.
The page separates approvals that need action, completed decisions, and requests submitted by the user; this demo account currently has none.

The page has three tabs:

TabShows
Needs My ActionRequests currently waiting for your decision (pending or in progress). A badge shows the count.
My HistoryRequests you have already decided on.
My RequestsRequests you submitted that are awaiting someone else's decision.

Each tab has a search field to filter by title, requester name, or entity type.

Deciding on a request​

From the Needs My Action tab, each card shows the request title, the person who raised it, and its current status. To decide:

  1. Find the request and click Approve or Reject (or click the card to open the detail page).
  2. On the detail page, click Submit Decision.
  3. Enter your decision and any comments.

Delegating a request​

If you are unable to decide, you can delegate the request to another person while it is still pending or in progress:

  1. Open the request detail page.
  2. Click Delegate.
  3. Select the person and confirm.
Overdue requests

Requests past their due date are highlighted. The due date shows as overdue in red on the detail page.

Request detail page​

Click any approval card to open the full detail view, which shows:

  • Request title, description, requester, and workflow name.
  • Whether the request is Blocking (must be resolved before the related item proceeds) or Advisory (informational only).
  • Step progress — the sequence of approval steps and who has decided at each step.
  • Decision timeline — a history of all decisions made so far.

A conference speaker submits a travel reimbursement request. Their event manager is assigned as approver and receives a notification. They open My Approvals, find the request under Needs My Action, review the details, and click Submit Decision to approve it.
