    I have a completion form that asks much more information about the receiver and also includes an approval and signature about another party. How can I track completions/approvals?

    I am developing a workflow and wonder if this needs to be a conditional box.

    Hi HNEC,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me help you with that:

    You can track form completions and approvals effectively using Jotform's workflow and approval features. Here’s how:

    1. Use Jotform Tables: Once you set up an approval workflow, the Flow Status column appears in Tables, showing each submission's approval status.
    2. Track in Jotform Inbox: The Inbox displays all approvals with progress status. You can filter submissions by their flow status (e.g., In Progress, Approved, Denied).
    3. Manage Approvals: You can take over, reassign, cancel, or restart approval steps directly from Inbox or Tables if needed.
    4. Require Signatures: Use the Approve & Sign element in Workflow Builder to require signatures during approval for added authenticity.
    5. Set Reminder Emails: Enable reminder emails in your workflow to prompt approvers to act on pending tasks.

    This setup will help you monitor completions and approvals smoothly within your workflow.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi HNEC,

    You can easily track approvals for each submission by opening the inbox of the form. Jotform Workflows lets you set up approval flows for your form. Once submissions come in, you can approve or deny them through Jotform Inbox. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Downward Arrow icon next to the Jotform Logo.
    2. In the Dropdown menu, select Jotform Inbox.
    3. In Jotform Inbox, scroll down and click on the Approve or Deny button.
