Frequently asked questions
You might not see other users because approvals doesn’t currently support user visibility settings. Selecting an approver only works when visibility is set to “Users can see everyone in the organization.”
If your organization uses “Users can only select members of sites and groups they’re in” or “Users can only select members of their sites,” you won’t be able to see any other users from the list.
No. Once an inspection with an approval page is approved, it can no longer be edited or marked as incomplete.
