Identify products to be approved

There are several ways to identify uses for which there is a request for approval, depending on one’s role and associated permissions.

Method 1:

From the Product List

– Applications Menu > Chemical Products > Products
Select the search criteria associated with product approval:

• Status: select Pending to know the current requests
• Hazard Levels: to sort current waits by product hazard level (set in the Workflow)
• The list of concerned products is displayed. The status column displays as many symbols as requests made for the product. Hovering over it gives the status detail.

Method 2:

From the Use List

– Applications Menu > Chemical Products > Risk Analysis > Use and Risks

Method 3:

From the Approval List

– Applications Menu > Chemical Products > Risk Analysis > Approval Requests

Method 4:

From the dashboard

The dashboard provides access to requests concerning the products of one’s group and displays the main components of the request.

When the product record is selected, click on the chosen product name to display the Uses section and display the various possible actions:
