Approvals across flair reference
Use this reference to find who approves each documented request type and where they handle it. Approval routing follows the Approval Framework unless a row describes another flair approval process. In the mobile app, every Approval Request assigned to you appears under Approval Requests on the home screen; see Approve or reject in the mobile app.
