Business value

The Approvals page in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations can be difficult to navigate and sort. Project managers spend extra time navigating the user interface when they approve time, material, and expense entries. By simplifying and optimizing the user interface design, you make the approvals process smoother and easier. When project managers spend less time searching through their pending approvals, productivity increases and the organization saves money.

Feature details

The Approvals feature will get an update of the UI experience for approvals in Project Operations. These UI changes show time approvals in a calendar grid, like the time entry creation grid. This grid lets an approver see and understand a larger volume of records at once. It also highlights the most relevant information so project managers can easily see which records need their attention. This feature hosts all approvals inside a form with tabs for each type of approval record. Each tab has an indicator of how many approvals of that type are pending review by the current user. This indicator gives project managers an easy way to understand where their attention is needed without having to select several menus. All previous functionality is available in a streamlined manner on this new time-phased view.

You will turn on a feature flag to enable this feature. When you turn on the feature flag, the new approvals experience appears on the sitemap.
