Design the Approval Request Page for Classic Approval Processes

Design the Approval Request Page for Classic Approval Processes

The approval page is where an approver responds to an approval request from a classic approval process. Customize which fields appear on that page and in which order. This page is used only for this classic approval process.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Important
Important Try Flow Approval Processes, a modern alternative to Classic Approval Processes. This new feature provides a more flexible, user-friendly flow-based interface, and it can trigger on record changes, supporting Apex extensibility and detailed logging for compliance and audit trails. It supports dynamic routing based on data and business rules, unlike Classic Approval Processes, which are tied to specific objects and offer limited support for processes by using conditions. With Flow Approval Processes, you can monitor submitted records and quickly identify bottlenecks, giving you unprecedented visibility into approval workflows. And, like Classic Approval Processes, Flow Approval Processes don’t consume automation credits or orchestration runs.
Option Description
Selected Fields Specifies which fields to show on the approval request page. Keep in mind that approvers can view this page on a mobile device. Select only the fields necessary for users to decide whether to approve or reject records.
Display approval history information... If selected, the approval request page displays the approval history of the associated record. This option is available only in Salesforce Classic. In Lightning Experience, the approval history appears only on the record being approved.
Security Settings

Controls whether users have to log in to Salesforce to see the approval request.

Allow approvers to access the approval page only from within the application (Recommended)
Default. Users log in to Salesforce to view the approval page.
Allow approvers to access the approval page only from within the application, or externally from a wireless-enabled mobile device
Users can access an external version of the approval page from a browser, including browsers on mobile devices, without logging in to Salesforce. If selected, you can’t add approval steps that let users manually select the next approver.
