Your command center for tracking the status of outstanding approvals

Approvals Reporting is a standalone Hive App that gives you a dashboard summary of all current approval routes across your projects. At a glance, you can see:

• Who is the current approver

• What is the status of their response: Awaiting, Approved, Approved with Changes, or Changes Requested

• How long they have had this approval (Length of Review)

• Which round and stage the approval is on

• Which file is currently being reviewed

• When the stage started and when it is due

• Which action card the approval belongs to (click to open it directly)

Like other Hive Apps, Approvals Reporting must be enabled and pinned:

1. A workspace admin must toggle the app on in Hive Apps.

2. Each user must pin the app to their navigation sidebar to access it.

Choose the projects you want to review. Only projects with active approval rounds will display data. You can also include archived projects if needed. Use the dropdown arrow to the left of the project name to expand and see individual approval routes.

You can add optional project-level columns to the view, such as Project Owner, Status, Description, Start Date, Due Date, and any project custom fields.

The table displays the following columns:

Step — The action card where the approval is happening. Click the title to open the action card directly.

File — The name of the active proof file.

Stage — The name of the current approval stage. If you rename a stage, that name appears here.

Round # — The current approval round number.

Approver — The name of the current approver, color coded by their individual status: yellow for Awaiting, green for Approved or Approved with Changes, and red for Changes Requested.

Stage Start — When this approval stage was initiated.

Approval Due Date — The deadline for the approval stage.

Approval Date — When the approver completed their review (if applicable).

Length of Review — How many days elapsed between the stage start and the approval date.

Approval Status — The overall stage-level status, shown with a colored dot: Pending Review, Reviewing, Approved, Changes Requested, or Unstarted.

Notes — Any notes left by the approver.

If you don't see expected approvals, check the following requirements:

1. The action card must have an active approval round (where approval has been requested but not everyone has responded).

2. The action card must have a deadline or date range set.

3. The action card must not be archived or deleted.

4. The action card must be public (not private).

5. Click the dropdown arrow to the left of the project name to expand the approval rows beneath it.

The action card with the approval route must have a due date populated in order for the approval information to appear in Approvals Reporting.

You can filter the Approver and Approval Status columns using the built-in column filters (click the filter icon in the column header). Columns are also sortable and can be reordered or resized. Your column preferences are saved automatically.

You can export the current Approvals Reporting view to CSV for offline analysis or sharing with stakeholders.
