Open an Action Item

You open action items from the Notification Center.

Action items are grouped into different assignment types. Each type displays as a single line that indicates how many of the type are awaiting your action. The most recent action items display at the top of the list.

To open an action item:

1. Open the Notification Center. Action items display at the top of the Notification Center.
2. Click the action item.

   The item opens an application in either the DPS browser or desktop application. For example, if you click a link for an expense report action item, My Stuff > Approval Center opens automatically in the browser application. If you click a link for an action item for an AP invoice approval awaiting approval, Accounting > Approvals Review opens automatically in the desktop application.

   Note that the desktop application only opens in Internet Explorer. If you are using a different browser, a message displays indicating that the desktop application requires Internet Explorer.
