Approval Flow

Multi-level approvals inside GLPI, with no spreadsheets and no email chains

Approval Flow organizes ticket approvals in up to 3 levels, such as direct manager, area director and committee. Each level can have several approvers, by user or by group, and a minimum percentage to be approved, such as majority or unanimity.

LicensedGLPI 11 and 12

Features

The flow starts the way each process needs: by category, when the ticket is opened or recategorized; by a GLPI business rule; or by a button on the ticket, when the technician decides that request needs approval.

At the end of each level, the flow acts on its own: it moves to the next level, solves or closes the ticket, or simply ends the flow, with automatic status and followup. Each flow belongs to an entity and can apply to child entities. Every decision is recorded on the ticket and in the module's Logs tab.

How it works

Step 1

Build the flow

Choose the approval templates for each level and what happens when the level is approved or refused.

Step 2

Choose how it starts

By the ticket category, by a GLPI business rule or by the "Approval flow" button on the ticket itself.

Step 3

Approvers answer in GLPI

Each approver gets the request and answers on the ticket itself, with a mandatory justification when refusing.

Step 4

The flow moves on by itself

Each decision runs the configured action: next level, solve, close or end the flow, with automatic status and followup.
