Managing Records as a Final Approver
The Final Approval feature adds the Approve & Finalize button to records for users set up as Final Approvers./
If you’re a Final Approver and get a request to approve or reject a record, click Approve & Finalize to confirm the approval. This skips any approval chain in the rule for that record.
But if you click Approve instead, the record is approved only if you’re the last approver. If not, the workflow continues and sends the record to the next approver.
Users who need final approval for records should email their request to the final approvers.
To approve or reject a record as a Final Approver:
-
Open the email message.
-
Click View Record in the email.
-
Do one of the following actions:
-
Approve & Finalize – To approve the record and skip any remaining approvers, click Approve & Finalize.
-
Approve – To record your approval and let the workflow move the record to the next approver, click Approve.
-
Reject – To reject the record, click Reject.
In the Reason field, enter a reason or comment for your approval or rejection. The rejection reason can’t be longer than 4,000 characters.
-
-
Click Submit.
The record creator and any approvers who no longer need to approve or reject the record get email notifications.
