Initiative Approval Workflow

System administrators can enable an option that requires all new and modified workflows within a context be reviewed and approved prior to being put into use.

If your administrator has configured your system to require initiative approvals in certain contexts, icons appear beside the names of initiatives in the Initiatives list to indicate their status. The icons you may see are the following:

Icon	Description
Lock	Not submitted yet The initiative is new or is an existing initiative that has been modified, and it has not yet been submitted for approval by its owner or author.
Blue exclamation point	Pending approval The new or modified initiative has been submitted for approval by its owner or author. Up to three people may have to approve the initiative before it becomes available for general use.
Red exclamation point	Requires your attention You are an assigned approver of this initiative, and you should have received an email indicating that you need to take action on this initiative.
Check mark	Completed The initiative has received all of the approvals it needs and is in general use.
