By implementing effective approval process, businesses can foster a culture of agility, responsiveness, and improved service delivery. An advanced yet easy to navigate approval process helps Approvers to easily analyze the SRs and approve them without fail. Let's explore the following use case. | **Use Case** **User Persona: Approver** | **Solution** | | --- | --- | | Apex receives numerous SRs daily, ranging from software installations to hardware repairs. With the volume of SRs, it becomes challenging to ensure that all SRs are legitimate, necessary, and aligned with organizational policies. Without a proper approval process, there's a risk of unnecessary expenditures, resource misallocation, and potential security vulnerabilities. | An end-user submits a SR through the Apex Mobile. The SR is forwarded to the designated approver, typically a manager or supervisor responsible for overseeing resource allocation and adherence to policies for SRs. Apex's approver, Grace, logs into the Apex Mobile and view the list of pending SR(s) requiring his approval. Grace reviews the SRs from the list. It displays comprehensive information about the SR, including the requester's details, description of the requested service, priority level, and any associated attachments or supporting documents. Grace carefully evaluates the SR, ensuring its compliance with organizational policies, SLAs, and available resources before approving it. | ## Approve Service Request(s) You can view the list of SR(s) in a tabular and approve the SR(s). Having a centralized view of all the SRs allows to track the status of each SR, and approve them more quickly. To approve the SRs, perform the following steps: 1. Log in to the Apex Mobile. 2. Click **Service Management** widget. The Approver Dashboard page is displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/62351b42-cfbd-43ad-8ce1-82b8f455337f/Images/Documentation/Screen_95G_1736702218_649-17367027565-F.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T13%3A39%3A51Z&se=2026-10-31T14%3A39%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1W%2F9tIz91ml1%2FHQwY7Y7suj2V%2FdcJYslGwHE79QCd08%3D) Figure: Approver Dashboard 3.
