Managers, Instructors, and Training Administrators can use the Approval Queue page to approve courses, certifications, goals, tasks, and more, depending on their role and need.

Navigating to the Approval Queue
- Go to Manager Tools in the menu bar and click Approval Queue from the Succession module.
Actions
- Edit an approval request.
- Approve a request.
- Reject a request.
- Allow a Manager to approve all requests within a given section at one time instead of individually.
Approval Sections
- Approvals Required for Course Requests - Allows a manager to approve training requests if the course requires manager approval. Approving a course will allow the employee access to the course/class and denying will not allow them to enroll. An email will notify the requestor of the manager's selection.
- Upcoming Training - Allows a manager to view any upcoming training scheduled for direct reports. This will also include Instructor Led events that occur on a particular time and date.
- Approvals Required for Learning Plan Tasks - If an Admin has set an activity or item for a learning plan to require manager sign off, the manager will be able to approve a learning plan task. A learning plan can still be completed and moved out of the learning plan view for the employee while awaiting manager approval. For more information about setting up a learning plan, you can refer to the following dedicated article.
- Approvals Required for Training History Requests - This section includes courses or certifications added by the employee via the My Training History page. Once the employee completes this information, a manager is required to approve the request, along with the named training Administrator.
- Approvals Required for Employee Goals - Performance Module required. Allows the manager to approve, reject, and/or edit a goal submitted by an employee.
