How do I send a task for approval?

Open the task, pick an approver in the Approval box and click Send for Approval. The approver gets a notification.

Who can do this: Admin, Partner, Company SecretaryLast checked: 19-10-2026

Send the task

  1. Open the task.
  2. In the Approval box, click Set next to — No Approver set —.
  3. Choose the person who will approve. Only people with the approver permission appear in this list.
  4. Click Send for Approval.
What you will seeThe box shows “sent to” and the approver’s name, with a Pending badge.

Good to know

  • You choose the approver each time. DueFiler never picks one for you.
  • Sending for approval does not change the task status. The two are separate.
  • Sent it to the wrong person? Click the small X (Cancel approval request), then send again.
  • The list is empty? Ask your Admin to give the approver permission to someone.

Cannot see this on your screen?

  • Your role must be one of these: Admin, Partner, Company Secretary. If it is not, ask your Admin to check your access.
  • If your firm’s trial has ended, DueFiler is read-only. You can see everything, but you cannot add or change anything.
