Mass approval of workflows

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi team,

Please note we are facing issues while approving bulk workflows as the selection and processing at a time are limited to 100 lines only.

During mass reviews we are initiating multiple hundreds of WFs against which the approvers (especially higher level) have to spend longer time to process these page by page.

Can you please extend the page limit to more than 100 line items.

    Hi Sarath, this is quite a large effort in development to do this bulk processing. We would suggest that the rules are reviewed so fewer number of materials enter the workflow as approving such a large number in bulk means that they are not approved in enough detail. We will however come back and look at this in future once the underlying infrastructure has been upgraded.

    We will have a look at this. The question is if the approvals need to be made in bulk are they being reviewed in enough detail? If the materials are being approved in bulk it may be the case that the rules can be further refined to allow for the smaller risk/value changes do not necessarily require approvals. What is the maximum number of approvals that are required?
