# Completed Approval Processes

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**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**.

The **Negotiation Processes** page opens, listing every approval and signature process.

# 4. Viewing Completed Approval Processes

1. Navigate to **Approvals & Signatures → Negotiation Processes** (see Section 3).
2. In the first filter list, change **Approvals and signatures** to **Approvals only**.
3. In the status filter list, change **Any status** to **Completed**.
4. Review the results. Each completed process shows a **Process Completed** tag in the **Status** column, and the **Progress** column shows every group finalized (for example, **1/1** or **2/2**).

**Tip:** Use the **Search** box above the grid, or the filter icon on any column heading (such as **Record**), to narrow the list to a specific process or record.

# 5. Reviewing a Completed Approval Process

1. On the filtered list (see Section 4), click **Open console** on the process's row.
2. Confirm the banner reads **This process is completed/finalized.** and **Status** shows **Process Completed**.
3. Check **Groups**, which shows how many groups were finalized (for example, **1 of 1 finalized**).
4. Under **Groups and participants**, each group shows a **finalized** tag with its date, and each participant shows their response (for example, **Approved**).
5. Review **Files in this process** for the documents that were routed for approval.

**Note:** The **Pause**, **End process**, and **Finalize** buttons appear disabled on a completed process.
