Same/similar question as Michael posted... approvals seem awesome but where is the approval info stored/recorded and how can I centrally report on it (who approved or didn't what, when and where)?

[michaelschoeb]

I love Apprival. My issue is that the Approval information is stored in a User context. I would love to use this to approve several documents AND store the document later in a sharePoint DocLib including the approval information. Is?there a possibility to do that?

[arianekae]

I have created a sample test for this, is there a way we can delete the sampled cancelled or approved requests?

Hi, Thank you for tutorial, but i have a question, Can notifications be sent to the approver's email?

[sharkgeforce]

Thanks for the video

But how to share an approval template with whole Org.?

So if any Ms Teams user needs to have an acees to it, he/she could use it.

Love that feature. Now i have to create a way to use it in my organisation.

I set this up at my work but we found it to be pretty buggy. the approval interface would often not fully load in the teams interface.

Just today my approval request is missing attachment. One of the approver saw it the file but after a days the file is missing.

[karenrabanzo]

Hi, this is amazing tool! Is there also a functionality to automatically reassign current approval task to another person in case the primary approver is out of office?

[ashish.bonde.]

without attachment it works
but for attachment it says "An unexpected server error occurred."
