[User Roles](https://faq.procurementexpress.com/user-roles?hsLang=en) # How do I use the Dashboard for approvers to see and approve requests waiting on me? ## Approvers now get their own dashboard that shows your pending purchase requests, oldest-first, plus the budgets you're responsible for. Approvers can keep a personal Dashboard on their homepage that puts everything waiting on them in one place, nobody has to chase you and you don't have to dig through the bell icon and a newest-first list. Open your ProcurementExpress Dashboard. It shows two main areas: - Requests waiting on you, the purchase requests routed to you for approval, listed longest-waiting first (among those submitted in the last 90 days). Each row shows how long it has been waiting, the requester, supplier, amount and budget. - Your budgets — the budgets you are a named approver of, most used first, with the used and remaining amounts. To act on a request, click Approve or Reject on its row. A confirmation window asks you to confirm your decision before it's applied. If a request has no action visible, or to review the full waiting list, use View all to open your My Alerts list, already sorted the same way (oldest first). Questions marked as older backlog are counted behind a single link, so the live queue stays separate from abandoned requests. Notes: - To make this your homepage, choose Dashboard in your profile settings - your default homepage remains the purchase order list until you change it. - The Dashboard entry appears in your side menu. (If you don't see it, your company may not have the Dashboard enabled yet.) - Approving or rejecting from the Dashboard uses the same approval rules as elsewhere in ProcurementExpress. ![](https://faq.procurementexpress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-10-2026-10-11-29-5947-PM.png?width=600&height=378&name=image-png-Nov-10-2026-10-11-29-5947-PM.png) ![](https://faq.procurementexpress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-10-2026-10-12-13-2322-PM.png?width=837&height=534&name=image-png-Nov-10-2026-10-12-13-2322-PM.png) -
