Tasks & Approvals

One work queue for everything waiting on you — tasks assigned to you, time-away requests and workflow approvals.

Tasks & Approvals (under Tools in the sidebar) is your work queue. Everything that needs your attention lands here in one place:

  • Tasks assigned to you — standalone to-dos and checklist tasks generated by onboarding or offboarding.
  • Time away requests — leave requests from your reports, waiting for your approve/decline.
  • Pending Approvals — approval forms generated by Workflows, waiting for your decision.

Who sees what?

Everyone gets the My tasks tab. Owners, admins, finance and IT roles also get a Create tasks tab for authoring their own task lists.

The split matters: on My tasks you act on work assigned to you — you can change a task's status and comment, but not rename, reassign or delete it. On Create tasks you manage work you created, with full editing.

Task statuses

StatusMeaning
To doNot started yet

BlockedStuck — needs something before it can continue
DoneFinished

Approvals don't use these statuses — they're simply Pending, Approved or Rejected, and you action them once.
