Completed Approval Processes

Document Templates: Generation/Merging › Manage Electronic Approval Process › Completed Approval Processes

Note: Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

1. Overview

Filtering Negotiation Processes to Approvals only and a status of Completed surfaces every finished approval process, shown with a Process Completed status tag and a Steps/Progress reading of, for example, "1/1" — confirming every step was finalized.

From the filtered list, Open console shows the details of a completed process: its finalized groups, how each participant responded, and the files that were routed.


2. Key Elements

  • Negotiation Processes → Approvals only + status Completed.
  • Completed rows show a Process Completed status tag.
  • Progress reads N of N steps finalized, e.g. "1/1".
  • Open console opens the process, which shows "This process is completed/finalized.", the number of groups finalized (e.g. "1 of 1 finalized"), each participant's response, and the Files in this process.


3. Navigating to Negotiation Processes

  1. From the Contract Insight homepage, click the Approvals & Signatures icon in the left navigation bar.
  2. Select Negotiation Processes.

  2. In the first filter list, change Approvals and signatures to Approvals only.
