Approval tasks are created by a model's workflow and sent to a user for approval. You can approve, reject, or return an approval task, but you can't edit or delete it.
If you add a list block to a page to show a model's data and the model has an approval workflow, when you trigger the workflow, a "Pending approval" chip appears on the list item. For example, you might have an approval workflow that triggers when you update a property's value.
When you select the chip, it opens this Status dialog box, where you can see who the approval is with and other actions you can perform. This chip doesn't affect the primary action of the list item, which allows you to select the list item to open another page.
If an approval workflow gets stuck, the Tenant Admin can use the context menu to approve, reassign, cancel, or select more, which takes you to the approval task detail dialog box. In addition, if the task includes the option to return the task, this appears in this context menu too.
Secondary actions on approval tasks
An action in your Applaud tenant triggers approval tasks. Your Applaud tenant administrator sets up how an approval task is triggered by an action and how this is managed. They might have also added additional buttons or secondary actions to an approval task. It might be a button to open a page in your Applaud tenant or an external link. If you need help with this, please get in touch with your Applaud tenant administrator.
