Approvals can be defined for any operationrecord, the processing of which may require such a step. For example, absence, vacation, change request, etc. The approvals are automatically created according to a specified approval rule or within the workflow with the User-approval activity. Approvals allow users or groups to be associated with a task record for the purpose of either approving or rejecting the taskit.
An approval ticket is a record in the record in the Approval (sys_approval) table, which the system transitions to every user responsible for the approval: one ticket per user. It is the ticket you see on the My Approvals page, that is, a user approves or rejects tickets. Tickets, in their turn, are compiled into approvals associated with one operation record (task, request, incidentchange request, etc.).
