Purpose
Comments are used to:
Highlight specific issues or required changes
Provide clarity on responses that need revision
Guide reviewers before resubmission
To Approve a review:
ADMIN
Navigate to the execution under review and click on 'View'
Admins - Actions tab under Manage Reviews
Once the manager review process closes, any approval tasks that were not completed by managers are displayed on the Admin Approval page. This allows administrators to review and complete the remaining approvals without requiring managers to take further action.
