Approve an Idea

In PowerSteering, an Idea is a noteworthy thought for consideration. Ideas can be submitted for review and subsequently be approved and converted into a Project at any time.

Once an Idea has been created and submitted for approval, any user with the "Approve / Reject Idea" Project Tasks permission on the Idea can approve it. Once approved, an Idea can be converted to a Project.
