Documentation

Definition

Indicates if an approval group has been assigned to an approver.

Use

An approval group has one of the following statuses:

  • Not Assigned (System displays no icon): This approval group has not been assigned to one specific approver. You have the authorization to approve the items in this group, that is, either the previous processor selected you as one of the possible approvers or the system has automatically assigned you as a possible approver according to your company's approval process setup. You can take on this approval group and process its items. When you take on this group, the status changes to Assigned to Me.
  • Assigned to Different Approver (System displays an icon shaped like a lock): The items in this approval group are being processed by another approver. You can view the items in the approval group but you cannot approve or reject items.
  • Assigned to Me (System displays an icon shaped like a person): You were either selected as approver by the previous processor; the system has automatically assigned you according to your company's approval process setup; or you took on this group for approval. You can approve or reject the items in this approval group.
