Users can approve Employee Central workflows directly from cards in the Approvals section, with or without adding comments.
Choosing the View Details link opens a workflow details page where they can review the full details, or delegate, send back, or decline a workflow. Note that if users are not allowed to do quick approvals, they’ll have to use this link to approve their workflows.
For sent-back workflows, users view their basic information on a different type of cards in the For You Today section. They can choose Review and Update on the cards to open a workflow details page where they can make changes and resubmit workflows.
Home page users want their most urgent, pending tasks to appear on the home page. These new cards give them immediate access to workflows that need their attention and ensure important requests are processed promptly.
