General > Event Creation: Pre-Approval Settings

The Pre-Approval process requires an additional level (first look) of approval prior to the typical approval workflow. This approval is done by a designated Admin(s) and/or Sub-Admin(s) that can assess the appropriateness of an event for their organization before it enters the normal approval workflow. Once activated, you will need to decide who will be the Pre-Approver(s) and give them user permissions in the User section of the Setup.

Do you want all of your submitted events to be reviewed and pre-approved by a designated Admin(s) and/or Sub-Admin(s) before the event goes through the normal workflow approval process?

To get started, go to Settings>Advanced>General>Event Creation to enable the Pre-Approval process by selecting the toggle button, as shown below. (optional). When selected, the submitted event will show pending “pre-approval”.

In addition, once an event has been approved by the Pre-approver and has gone through the normal workflow, sometimes changes/updates/cancelations can be made to the event by the owner/editor of the event or Admin. If you'd like ALL changed/updated/canceled events to go back through the pre-approval process, you should toggle the selection shown below to activate this option.

Next, an Admin must give user permissions to an Admin(s) and/or Sub-Admin(s) in Settings>Basic>Users to be a Pre-Approver (see below) and SAVE. You can restrict the user to pre-approval permissions based on specific event categories as shown below.
