Don't let any reviews fall by the wayside by using the Approvals tab.

While O3 supports approvals for multiple work package types, this article uses IWPs as an example.

This article assumes you have the appropriate permissions for creating/editing work packages. Please confirm this with your Project Admin before reading on.


Configuring Approval Types

Note: only users with Project Admin access can configure Approval Types.

In the left-side navigation menu, go to Project Settings > Entity Settings > IWPs in the Project Settings menu.

Click on the Approval Types tab, then click on the + sign above the grid.

Note that approvals can be set as auto-created in Project Settings, or created manually in the Detail Form.

Navigating to the Approvals Tab

In the left-side navigation menu, click on Work Packages > Installation (IWPs), then select an IWP from the grid.

Click on the Approvals tab in the Detail Form.


Manually Creating & Updating Approvals

Click on the + sign above the list and add all the approvals that apply.

To edit an approval, click on the pencil icon next to it.

  1. You can manage approvals along with your other actions using Team Boards.

  2. The Assigned to User Group and Role fields allow you to assign an approval to anyone with the given User Group or Role.

When you're done editing, click on the Submit button if you're the submitter, or the Approve/Reject button if you're the approver.

Rejecting an approval will prompt you for Rejection Notes.
