You’ll be taken to the ticket page where you will see all the details for your ticket.

Depending on your role at the University, you may receive approval requests. For example, purchasing hardware and software where you are the budget holder.
You can view your approvals by clicking My Approvals in the header.
The number next to My Approvals shows how many approvals are currently pending. When My Approvals is clicked a side drawer will open, displaying a list of pending approvals.
To view all pending approvals, click the See all link.
Approvals can also be viewed in the My items section on the homepage.
Again, the number next to Approvals shows how many approvals are pending and you can view all pending approvals by clicking See all.
When the See all link has been clicked, you will be taken to the My Approvals page. All requested approvals within the last 30 days are shown by default.
You can view approved approvals by checking the Approved checkbox, and you can also view rejected approvals by checking the Rejected checkbox.
It is possible to choose the date that you want to see approvals from – 30 days ago, 60 days ago, 90 days ago and all time. You can set this by selecting it from the Date Updated drop down field.
Approve or reject approvals
You can see more information about what you are being asked to approve by clicking on the ticket it refers to.
Each approval should have an Approve and Reject button next to it.
To approve click the Approve button. Once it has been clicked, a box will pop up offering you the chance to include an optional explanation – one can be added if you wish, but it is not required.
Click the Confirm Approval button to approve the request.
To reject an approval click the Reject button.
Again, a box will be displayed but this time an explanation is required in order to reject the request.
Once an explanation has been entered you can click the Confirm Rejection button to reject the approval request.
