The Transaction Summary

The Transaction Summary shows you who is scheduled to approve this transaction or receive an FYI. It also shows a summary of information included in the PeopleSoft transaction. From within the Transaction Summary screen, you may take action on this transaction.

Worklist Home Returns you to the Worklist summary screen.
Quick Summary A little summary of data to help orient you in this transaction.
Help Takes you to a special help page for Approvers.
End Session Logs you out of the Worklist Manager and checks in any items you reviewed but did not take action on.
Approval Schedule The Approval Schedule shows who is scheduled to approve this transaction and who will receive an FYI. Anyone who has the same role and sequence is in a group. Only one person from the group needs to take action on the transaction.
Super-Approver Every transaction gets a super-approver. The super-approver does not take any action on a normal transaction, but is assigned to every transaction so that if something happens to the scheduled approvers and the transaction must be immediately approved, the super-approver can step in and approver the transaction fully in one step.

Action buttons:
Approve
Return
Decline

The approver has the power to take three actions. These actions will be discussed in depth in the next topic. These buttons are repeated again at the bottom of the Transaction Summary to enable you to take action there after reading the transaction summary.

Contact Originator

Sends an email to the transaction originator from your email program. This button does not change the status of the transaction.
Return to Worklist Returns you to the Worklist without taking any action on this transaction. This button behaves in exactly the same manner as the Worklist Home button above.

Transaction
Summary

The transaction summary contains all of the critical data related to this transaction as it was entered into PeopleSoft. Review this summary carefully to determine the appropriate action.
