When an application or project request is in the Pending Approval status, a defined person or persons must approve the request before it is submitted for execution. In such cases, the approving persons are notified via email that they have a pending approval task. These users will access the Approval Tasks screen in FlexDeploy by selecting Tasks -> Approval Tasks from the menu.
Members of the FD Administrators group can also approve all tasks.
To approve a request, select the corresponding task and click the Approve or Thumbs up button. To reject a request, select the corresponding task and click the Reject button.
Note regarding External Approval Tasks
Approval tasks generated from External Approvals are generally not intended to be approved through FlexDeploy. They are intended to be managed within the external system itself. However, the tasks can be approved here in the event that the linkage is somehow broken with the external system. However, note that approving the task in FlexDeploy will leave the task in the external system as pending approval.
