Understanding the Approval Monitor

The Approval Monitor gives administrators a view into all approvals to which they have access, as well as the ability to take necessary actions on pending approvals. Administrators are provided access to Approval Transactions based on the Role defined as System Administrator on the Approval Process Definition page. Actions available for the administrator are:

Term	Definition
Reassignment	Allows the system administrator to reassign pending approvals to a new approver based on search criteria.
Approve	Allows the administrator to act on behalf of the assigned approver. The approval is initiated for a specific user, wherever that user may be pending within a specific transaction. Once the administrator takes action, the approval resumes the approval process.
Denial	Allows the administrator to act on behalf of the assigned approver. The denial is initiated for a specific user, wherever that user may be pending within a specific transaction.
Ad Hoc	Allows the administrator to add a reviewer or approver to a specific transaction.
Resubmit	Allows the administrator to resubmit a completed transaction to all approvers in the approval path.
Push Back	Allows the administrator to send the process back to the previous approver.
