The Pending Approvals Monitor portlet allows a page or content manager (with the Manage or Manage Content privilege on the page), or an administrator, to list pending approvals by approver, date, page group, or submitter.
Notes:
The Pending Approvals Monitor portlet only lists pending approvals for other users, not the page or content manager, or administrator using the portlet. If you would like to view your own pending approvals, use the My Notifications portlet.
This portlet only lists pending approvals from pages for which you are the page or content manager, or page group administrator.
You must have the appropriate privileges on the page to customize the Pending Approvals Monitor portlet.
In the Pending Approvals Monitor portlet header, click Customize.
In the Display Name field, enter the name that you want to appear in the portlet header. The default is Pending Approvals Monitor.
In the Display Limit field, choose whether to display all notification items in the portlet, or to limit the list to a specified number of notifications. The default is 20.
In the Show Approvals For field:
Select the type of pending approvals to show in this portlet, by default, when it is displayed on a page. You can show pending approvals for an approver, a date, a page group, or a submitter.
Select a corresponding operator for the type, and enter a value. For example, specify an approver, a date, a page group, or a submitter.
Note: This is not required. Users will be able to specify a type when they view the portlet on a page.
