Approvals (in the sidebar, under Calendar) collects everything across the school that is waiting on your decision. The badge on the sidebar link is the total.
What is listed
| Area | Queue | Waiting when |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | Expense requests | An expense has been requested and not yet approved or rejected |
| Finance | Expense overages | A receipt shows more was spent than was disbursed |
| Finance | Payment adjustments | The bursar asked to change a recorded payment amount |
| Finance | Ledger corrections | The bursar asked to correct an account movement |
| Finance | Fee waivers | A waiver on an invoice is pending |
| Staff & payroll | Payroll runs | A run is still in draft |
| Staff & payroll | Salary advances | An advance has been requested |
| Staff & payroll | Attendance observations | Another manager logged an attendance observation |
| Students | Discipline incidents | An incident was submitted for review |
| Students | Parent record changes | A parent proposed a change to a student's record |
| Students | Guardian additions | A parent proposed an additional guardian |
| Operations | Merchandise stock requests | A stock receipt, adjustment, count or return needs sign-off |
| Operations | Roll-call location exceptions | Another manager's roll call was taken outside the school's location policy |
Restock requests do not have their own row: each one raises an expense request, and approving or rejecting that expense decides the restock.
Attendance observations and location exceptions you raised yourself are not counted — another manager has to review them.
Reading the page
The index card at the top lists every queue with its count; click a queue to jump to it. Queues with nothing waiting are greyed out.
Each queue below shows its five oldest requests with who raised them, how long ago, and the amount where there is one. A count or a waiting time turns amber once the oldest request is more than seven days old.
Click a request to open it, or Open queue to go to that workflow's own screen. Approving and rejecting still happens there, because each decision takes its own notes and evidence and some post to the ledger.
The page is read-only and refreshes each time you open it. Use Refresh after deciding something in another tab.
