Approval Status Administration

The Approval Status Administration report displays the lock status of any reporting or consolidation unit. Users with access to the report can directly set or update the lock status.

The Locked by system administrator status is set through this report. This status provides a method to differentiate between units locked by the approval process and units locked by administrator action. For example, if some units did not submit their data on time, the administrator can lock the units to prevent late, unapproved additions to budgets.

Example

The APStatus.aspx page used for the Approval Status Monitor and the Approval Status Administration pages. The Mode parameter controls the display of the Reset All and Save buttons. For example:

/CPM/Workstation/APStatus.aspx?View=CT BAP Status Monitor&Mode=Monitor&Options=ardz

If mode = Monitor, the Reset All and Save buttons do not display. Drill-through is supported.

If mode is not specified or is something other than Monitor, then the Approval Status Administration page is displayed with the Reset All and Save buttons, and it does not allow drill-through.
