# Approvals Dashboard

> When you log in to the [Payroll Dashboard](https://payroll.razorpay.com/dashboard) as an approver, you can access your pending requests in three ways:

1. On the Payroll Dashboard Home Page under:
   * **Quick Reminders**.
   * **ADMIN OPTIONS** → **Approvals** in the left menu.
2. Respective action pages. That is, if you have approvals pending for **Edit Payroll** action, requests needing approvals are indicated on the **Edit Payroll** page.

## Dashboard Actions

All your pending requests are available on the **Approvals** page. On this Dashboard, you can:

* Sort requests basis the dates you received them.
* Bulk select and approve/reject requests using the check box.
* Open the summary view to check the request and approval history.
* Provide remarks when approving/rejecting a request.
* Withdraw a request you have initiated.
* Check the following:
  * **Pending Approvals**: Approvals that require your review.
  * **Initiated by Me**: Approval requests initiated by you if you are the maker of that request.
  * **Completed**: Approval requests you have already taken action on.

You receive only those requests for which you are an approver via the Dashboard and email.

### Review Requests

### Request Statuses

Following are the statuses of a request from the time it is created.

## Status | Description

## `Raised by` | This is the status after the maker creates a request.

## `Approved` | This is the status when you approve the request.

## `Pending` | This is the status when a request awaits review from a second level of approvers.

`Rejected` | This is the status when you reject the request.

The above statuses are available in the summary view of the request. You can also view them in the Audit Report under **Settings** on the [Payroll Dashboard](https://payroll.razorpay.com/dashboard).
