How do I create approvals?

Overview

Fides makes it easy to request and manage approvals. Whether you need authorization for a specific action or transaction, approval for an expense, or input from legal counsel or external advisors, Fides streamlines the entire process.

Every approval includes a transparent audit trail and is automatically stored for future reference, ensuring a clear and sustainable record of all approval activities.

Creating an approval

To create an approval:

  1. Navigate to the Approvals tab.
  2. Click + New Approval.
  3. Complete the required information, including:
    • The approval title and description.
    • The person or people who need to approve the request.
  4. (Optional) Configure additional settings, such as:
    • A due date.
    • Whether a signature is required in addition to the internal approval.

 

You can monitor the status of your approval at any time from the overview in the left-hand navigation panel.
