How do I submit my product and fundraisers for approval?

Coming Soon!

Faculty can create store products, ticketed events, fundraisers, and fees and submit them for approval directly from the product editor by launching a compliance form and linking the item in the submission.

This eliminates the need to navigate to Compliance separately first. The submission starts with the product itself, then guides the faculty user through the approval form.

Submitting for approval

  1. From the saved product, fundraiser, ticketed event, or fee, open the action dropdown next to Save Draft, then select Submit For Approval.

    Submit For Approval option in the product editor dropdown

  2. In the Submit for Approval window, select the compliance form you want to use.

    Note: If you need approval for an item created outside of Givebacks, select Add item from outside of Givebacks, and provide a link to it.

  7. Select the correct item from the results and click Add Item(s).

After submission, the linked item is included in the approval workflow. The approver can review both the form details and the related product before deciding whether it should move forward.

The submitter will receive an email notification when the form has been approved or rejected. If the form is rejected, edit the submission and resubmit.
