Enabling users to put approvals on hold

Users defined as approvers can approve and reject business requests. As an administrator, you can also enable an option for end users to put approval requests on hold. This feature helps an approver prioritize ongoing tasks. If the approver postpones an approval request, a service requester can see the On Hold status of the request. The approver can resume working on the approval request at any time.
