Managing Process
Understanding Approval Process
Sometimes, for a process to take place, you need approval from people at higher levels in an organization. This type of formal approval requires input from multiple roles. The approval processes created in the web version of Zoho CRM will also appear in the mobile version.
Permission Required
Users with Manage workflow permission in their profile can access this feature.
Records that are waiting for approval can be viewed in the Android app and can then be approved, rejected, or delegated from the My Jobs module or from the record detail view of a specific module.
To approve a record
- Tap the
icon in your Zoho CRM app.
- Tap My Jobs.

icon in your Zoho CRM app.

In the pop-up, tap the name of the user you want to transfer this approval process to and tap Delegate.
To reject a process

icon in your Zoho CRM app.

Understanding review processes
It's important to analyze and verify the information that enters your organization's database. In the long run, this helps maintain a clean database and saves a lot of time and effort.
For example, a firm receives hundreds of loan applications every day through both manual and online submissions. A few fields need to be checked before approving the applications. For examples, fields containing the info on the existing loans, collateral files, etc. You can configure review processes for both standard and custom modules in the Zoho CRM web application. Records can only be reviewed in the web application. Learn more here .
My Jobs module

icon in your Zoho CRM app.
