Approving & Denying Recognitions as a Company Admin

If you have created badges with an approval process, as a Company Admin, you can review and approve or deny Recognitions associated with those badges. This includes assigning point values if points are enabled and the badge has an assigned point range. Admins can manage approvals through the Admin Portal or directly via email notifications, which link to the 'Pending Recognitions' table for quick access. For more information on setting up badges with an approval process, refer to: Creating Badges with Approval Processes
