Create data approval flow in ENVIZI

Be able to assign a role for another user to approve a data input before the data is displayed as entered. With the upcoming IFRS S2 requirements we need to ensure a better audit trail and approvals.

    Hi Helga,

    We are working on a data approvals feature which is targeted for release at the end of Q2. The approvals feature will not prevent data from appearing in dashboards and reports, but any monthly normalized data will now contain an approval percentage, indicating how much of the underlying data has been approved.
    The initial release of this feature will require a user with a new Data Approver work role to periodically review a list of records that require approval. We intend to support a full approvals workflow with the ability to assign approval tasks to users in subsequent releases towards the end of the year.
