Approving a Task

Reviewing a task for approval is very easy in  using the Task List. The approver can use the  Quick Approval or the  Perform icons to  display the approval step. Quick Approval displays a Quick View of the task without displaying the entire form. It allows the user who's responsibility it is to review the task (manager, supervisor, reviewer etc.) to add a comment, approve or reject, sign and pass it to the next user in the flow. This works well on mobile devices. Of course, if the approver wants to see the entire form they can click the Details button.

For example, the third step in the Expense Report flow is performed by a user with the role of Finance and the final step is performed by a user with the role of CFO.
  9. Access the task by clicking the Important Items tab and then click on the Task List. Approve each step.
