Multiple approval requests

Hi Smartsheet,

Is there any possibility to change approval requests behaviour?

I have a quite dynamic sheet where user has to ask for permission to do tasks. These requests are almost perfect, as they going through to his manager with light speed and this is fine. But when manager has to go through those requests he has to open each form separately, what makes unnecessary work and the workflow is not as smooth as it could be.

Would it be possible to make some kind of scroll sideways between few approval requests one after another? So manager could make a decision about approval in one form and then go directly to the next one instead of going back from web browser to smartseet's app and then open the next one and so on?

Update requests works in exatly such way, so why approval requets can not?

Hi @Sandhiya07<\/a> <\/p>

Smartsheet Date columns can only house Dates, there currently isn't a Time function in Smartsheet. (System Columns can include timestamps, however these cannot be updated by Data Shuttle). <\/p>

If you need to see the time, make sure to map this column to a Text\/Number<\/strong> column in Smartsheet so that all of the text will appear. <\/p>

Let me know if that works for you!<\/p>

Cheers,<\/p>

Hi @CamSME<\/a> <\/p>

Unfortunately updating automated workflows is not a feature in Global Updates. If you can get around that though, Control Center can be really great.<\/p>

I hope that helps.<\/p>
