Review, approve, reject, reopen, and audit assigned approvals

  1. Open the workspace

    In JobBuddy, go to My Work → Approvals (#/approvals); deep link ?approval=.

  2. Confirm access and starting state

    Approval assigned/visible to the user; source-record permission; pending/live approval; signature/consent where required.

  3. Complete the main setup

    Review State and Type filters, Open/Approved/Rejected/Cancelled, review metadata/properties, opening the target, comments, signature name/title/consent, approve/reject, manage/reopen resolved approvals, refresh, stale/cancelled records, and domain-specific effects.

  4. Review the important choices

    Use the related expense, time, and JODA guides for their domain-specific effects.

  5. Verify the result

    Use the central queue to make a supported decision and understand when a resolved approval can be reopened.

    Expected result: Use the central queue to make a supported decision and understand when a resolved approval can be reopened.

Troubleshooting

The page, control, or action is unavailable.

Confirm the required access and starting state: Approval assigned/visible to the user; source-record permission; pending/live approval; signature/consent where required.

The result is incomplete or unexpected.

Approval types have different source records and consequences; queue state, assignee, comments/signature, target status, stale/cancelled state, reopening, and source-record access all matter.

The issue remains after checking the record.

Capture the exact visible error, record status, approximate time, and intended result. Give support only the minimum customer-safe evidence needed to trace the problem.

What happens next

  • Use the central queue to make a supported decision and understand when a resolved approval can be reopened.
  • Review the resulting record, status, notifications, and related history before continuing downstream work.
  • Use the related guide when the next action belongs to another JobBuddy workflow.
