Request Approval of a Development Plan

If you add or remove a learning asset from your Development Plan folder, you can submit it for approval by a manager. Once you do so, the status of the folder changes to Pending, and you cannot make any changes to it.

To request approval of a development plan

1. Click MY PLAN on the navigation panel on the left.
2. Move your mouse over the Development Plan folder, and click the Request Approval link that appears.

   

   The Development Plan Approval Request dialog box appears.

   

3. Do one of the following:
   • If you do not want to send a notification email about the approval request to an approval manager, enter a note regarding the request, and click Send. The note will be shown to all users who can approve your request in their list of pending requests in SkillPort.
   • If you want to send a notification email about the approval request to a specific approval manager, enter a note. Then select the approval manager from the drop-down list provided, or enter and re-enter (to confirm) the email address of an individual. Click Send.
4. Click OK in the confirmation dialog.

   The approval request is submitted. If you also opted to send a notification email, it is sent to the recipient you specified.
