3) Approval Center

Entry	Description	Details
Form categories	Four categories are supported: “Pending”, “Processed”, “Submitted by me”, and “CC’d to me”.	”Pending” forms: approval forms where you are the handler at the current Step. ”Processed” forms: approval forms where you were the handler at a previous Step. ”Submitted by me” forms: forms you submitted as the initiator. ”CC’d to me” forms: approval forms where you are a CC recipient.
Form Card	Use filters to quickly locate a form Card.	Supports precise filtering by form name, approval status, initiator, Submission time, and completion time. Fuzzy Search is also supported. Note: With precise filtering by initiator, if an Employee left and rejoined the company and their original Employee Number was not reused on rejoining, the system treats them as two different Employees, and filtering by Employee will fail to find their historical approval forms. Use fuzzy Search to retrieve all forms, or reuse the original Employee Number.
Form details	View the approval form’s basic information, approval details and process, and complete approval actions.	Basic information: includes the approval Number (Copy supported), form name, initiator’s Department, and approval form status. Approval details: form Content is visible based on Field permissions. Process: includes the Approval process, approval Steps, and approvers. Note: The Approval process cannot be viewed for approval forms with dynamic flow or parallel branches turned On.
