Key Features

Approve multiple tickets at one go

  • Save time with less clicks. There is no need to go into individual tickets for the approve button

 

Display relevant fields

  • Facilitates the approval process by displaying the relevant fields in the overview. Previously, there is a need to click into the ticket to see the details

 

Group related tickets

  • Authorized approvers can easily locate the requests they need to approve. It is more difficult to bulk approve with different types of requests cluttered together. By bringing context for the approvals, it makes the approval process easier
