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, an analyst must follow these steps:

1. On the Reports Details page, click Request for Approval. The Request for Approval window is displayed.
2. Enter the comments in the Request for Approval window.

   NOTE

   In the comments box in the Request for Approval window, you can enter a maximum of 255 characters.

3. Click Save to confirm the action. The Report Details page is displayed, and the status of the report changes to Requested for Approval. The Audit section tracks both actions and comments entered while performing the Request for Approval action.
