2.1.2All Requests Page

The All Requests page displays a centralized list of every submitted request — both Cash Advances and Liquidations. As an approver, this is where you view, filter, and monitor request statuses, and open supporting documents.

  • Date — the date the request was filed.
  • Status — the current state of the request, e.g. Approved.
  • Remarks — additional comments or approval notes.

The Status column uses colour-coded badges so you can scan the queue at a glance:

  • Approved — the request has been reviewed and approved.
  • Pending — the request is still awaiting a decision.
  • Rejected — the request was declined and will not proceed.
  • For Review — the request is being reviewed before a decision.
