It’s for these many and varied use cases that we’ve created Approval Processes. Approvals can be created by individuals based on their UserUser User means a person who uses or consumes a product or a service, usually a digital device or an online service. Role and can be applied to Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and Quotes. ⤵

When setting up the process, you select which colleagues should be responsible for Approving or Rejecting records in the process as well as a time scale and an automatic fallback if that timescale is exceeded. ⤵

Approvers can receive both email and in-app notifications. ⤵

And can also view all Approvals requiring their input — or that are Pending for records they own — in the new Approvals menu. ⤵

Much like in “Automatizer“, you can create multiple Actions that are triggered by “Approving” or “Rejecting” a record. Options also allow you to lock records while Approval is “Pending” as well as tie Approvals to your LeadLead Lead refers to a prospect or potential customer (who can be an individual or organization) that exhibits interest in your service or product; or any additional information about such entity., Opportunity, or Quote process so an unapproved Opportunity cannot be “Won” (for example). ⤵

The Form “Quick Jump” feature is available for all record forms, and can be accessed from the toolbar in form record detail or create form dialog. Users can use a keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+F” (for both Mac & PC) to quickly open up a search window and immediately start typing to find the field or section they are looking for.

Links in Cards Reports, Grids

We’ve added support for opening records in a new tab, allowing users to easily navigate between related records without losing their current place in the app. ⤵

Users can open a record card in a new tab by pressing Ctrl (or Command on Mac) and clicking on the link, which is a standard behaviour across many web applications. This makes it easier for users to quickly open related records without having to navigate back and forth within the app.

Alternatively, users can simply click on a name or a record card link and open that record within their current session without going to the record detail in a new tab.
