New Approval Center layout

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The Approval Center is where approvers decide on position and offer requests, and where recruiters track each request's progress. It has been redesigned to work on any screen and to make large queues easier to manage.

  • Works on any screen: Requests appear in a table on a computer and as cards on a phone.

  • Find any request quickly: Search by name or ID. Filter by status, your role on the request (creator, approver, watcher, or signer), and the date it was requested. Sort by status or creation date.

  • Everything you need to decide in one place: Select a request to see its details, approvers, comments, and, for offers, the offer documents. On a computer, these open in a side panel. On a phone, they open as a full-page preview. Only the actions that apply to your role are shown, such as Approve and Reject for approvers.

Before: The Approval Center showed a list on the left and details on the right. This layout didn't work on phones, had only a basic status filter, and the always-open details pane squeezed the list.
After: Requests appear in a table or as cards, with search, filters, and sorting. Details open only when you need them.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Approvers, often senior leaders, can clear their queue from their phone.

  • Approvers have the request details and their decision in the same place.

  • Recruiters can find where any request stands, even in a large queue.
