Microsoft Teams: A Guide to Using Approval Templates

This tutorial will demonstrate how to use Approval Templates in Microsoft Teams. Approval templates are a good way to standardize the approval process to make sure you always get all the information you need. I have found that templates save a lot of time because the approvals app does not allow you to send a request back to the submitter. Approve or Reject is all you get. Rather than go back and forth with people who forget the enter key pieces of information, save yourself the hassle and set up templates.

Storytime: I got an approval request that, no joke, said can you approve my document? No name of the document, no link to the document, nothing that would help me know what I was approving.
Rather than continue the back and forth behavior a template was creted. Now I get all the necessary details.

Hi Heather, when you create new template, we cannot have the custom approver toggle just like basic request?

Hi Heather, is there a way to add custom template categories?

hello Heather. Where is the data entered in the consent forms stored? For example, where do we get the approved form data from 2 months ago? Thanks in advance for your help.
