Description of the illustration approvals_unifiedtasklist_initiated.png

There are three unified task lists included as part of the sample app:

1. My Approvals, based on the My Tasks context
2. My Requests, based on the Initiated by Me context
3. Approvals Administration, based on the Admin Tasks context

Each unified task list shows tasks relevant to the user currently logged in, allowing them to manage, track, or administer approvals. Users cannot approve tasks that they have initiated, even if they are one of the potential owners for that task.
