9.3 Exploring the Tab’s Features

This section describes the default features of the Requests & Approvals tab. (Your tab might look different because of customizations made for your organization; consult your system administrator or workflow designer.)

The left side of the Requests & Approvals tab displays a menu of actions you can perform. The actions are listed by category ( My Work, My Settings, My Team’s Work, and My Team’s Settings):

The My Team’s Work and My Team’s Settings actions are only displayed if you are a team manager.

When you click an action, it displays a corresponding page on the right. The page typically contains a window that shows the details for that action. For example, it might display a list or a form where you can enter data or make a selection, as shown below:
