# Approvals monitor

> See every decision the platform is waiting on, who holds it, and remind them when it is late.

Most actions on the platform need a second person's decision: the regulator verifies a registration, the trustee confirms funding, an employer approves a budget. **Approvals Monitor** shows every one of those decisions still waiting, in one place.

<Info>
  **Where:** **Approvals Monitor** in the menu.

## Decisions waiting

1. **Summary**: how many **Decisions waiting**, how many are **Overdue**, the **Longest wait** and who it is waiting on, and how many **Reminders sent**.
2. **Search decisions** by name or reference.
3. **Filters** narrow the list, for example to one workflow or to overdue decisions.
4. **View** opens one decision.

Each row shows the decision needed (for example "Employer registration: verifies registration"), who it is **Waiting on**, for how long, and when the last reminder went out.

## One decision

</Frame>

The panel shows who it is waiting on, since when, how long it is **Expected within**, the reference and the steps so far. A decision becomes **Overdue** once it has waited longer than **Expected within**.

Select **Send reminder** to notify whoever holds it. A message confirms who was reminded, and the reminder count goes up.

## By workflow and by party

* **Workflows** groups the waiting decisions by process — employer registration, trust funding, benefit payment, expense budget and so on — with how many are waiting and overdue in each.
* **Parties** groups them by who holds them — the regulator, a named employer, trustee or fund manager, or you. **View decisions** lists that party's decisions.

<Tip>
  Decisions waiting on **Platform admin** are yours, for example a benefit payment to pay out or an employer to activate.
