All new projects start out as UNAPPROVED ideas. Users with the correct permissions can choose whether the project should be APPROVED or DECLINED.

To change project authorisation:

• Enter the portfolio to which your idea belongs.

• Select the ‘Projects’ tab to see the list of all projects.

• Select the project you wish to approve.

You should now be on the ‘About’ tab of the idea.

• Press the edit button on the top banner.

• Use the control to APPROVE or DECLINE the idea. If you wish, you can add a text comment to explain the decision. If you wish to remove a previous decision (& leave the project UNAPPROVED), then press the remove icon adjacent to the approval controls.

• Press the save icon on the top banner
