How Can I Make Approvals Visible in Real Time to Leadership?

You make approvals visible in real time to leadership by building a dashboard that pulls directly from the same live approval data, instead of compiling a status report manually. On Jestor, dashboards read directly from connected tables, the same data behind the approvals themselves.

Leadership rarely lacks approval data, they lack a single place to see it all at once, updated as it happens rather than compiled after the fact.

What blocks real-time approval visibility

  • Each type of approval living in its own separate view or process
  • No consolidated way to see everything currently awaiting a decision
  • Status updates requiring someone to open each record individually
  • No visibility into which requests are approaching their SLA deadline

How a real-time approval dashboard works

  • Indicators pull live data from every connected approval table
  • Conditional color can flag requests approaching or past their SLA deadline
  • Filters let leadership view by department, approver, or request type
  • The dashboard updates automatically as requests move through stages

Why Jestor fits this use case

  • Dashboards sit on the same live data the approvals themselves use
  • No separate BI tool or manual compilation required
  • Conditional formatting makes at-risk approvals visible immediately
  • Non-technical leaders can build or adjust the view themselves
