Tips   View requests for which you are a watcher

The View Requests screen lists requests for which you are included in the approval flow as a watcher: you cannot approve or deny the request, but you can move it from the Approve Items folder to a different folder and add comments.

Depending on configuration, a watcher can also delete a request from the list.

The Type column and icons indicate the document type; for example, a requisition.

Screen details

To display the View requests screen, click Watch Requests in the Navigation Panel on the Home page.

 

Click an ID or Title to see the complete details of a request, and then click the Approval Flow tab to see whether you are a required approver or a watcher. You can also:

  • Delete a request: click its check box and then click Delete (available only if the system supports this option). Note that the item remains in the system and can be retrieved by searching.
  • Move a request from the Approve Items folder to a different folder: click its check box, select a folder, and then click Move. If the request was created in a different partition from the one in which you're working, and if the selected folder exists in that partition, the request is archived there. If the selected folder does not exist in that partition, the request is moved to the Archive Items folder in that partition.
  • View requests that you are required to approve: click Approve Requests.
  • If available, click the Table Options icon, located in the row above the column headers, to display commands that control the display of data in the table. For example, you can hide or show columns of data; group data; or export data to Excel.
