7.1 Requesting the Report for Approval

An Analyst requests the supervisor to approve the report for filing when it is in the Open, Reopened, Requested for Approval, or Rework status. A Supervisor evaluates and then approves the report, sends the report for rework, or cancels the filing of the report.

To request a report for approval, follow these steps:

1. On the Reports Details page, click Take Action. The Report Actions window is displayed.
2. Select Request for Approval.
3. Enter the comments in the Comments field.

   Note:

   You can enter up to 255 characters.
4. Click Save. A confirmation message is displayed and on the Report Details page, the status of the report changes to Requested for Approval. The Audit page tracks both actions and comments entered while performing the Request for Approval action.
