I have found one of my pain points regarding proofs is cleaning up old Proofs that have been abandoned. I've not a found a way to withdraw the approval request short of deleting the file or logging in as the Proof requestor and doing it one by one. It would be great if there were a way to do it in bulk. How do all of you deal with it?

When I manually edit these I do it as myself and change the role to "Read Only." Since we can't do it in bulk, I'm building a Fusion scenario to find Pending Approvals on Documents where the Project is Complete or Dead and change the pending role to "Read Only"

Maybe if we all ask nicely enough @ewanh & team might be able to make us a template.

During the session, I mentioned having an Admin queue and have received a few questions regarding that. My queue form is in desperate need of an overhaul, so instead I'm going to put up the bat signal for Miss @CynthiaBoon to graciously share some screenshots of her simple admin queue so we can all step up our games.

Here are some samples of our admin queue and some of the forms that accompany them.

Kapow! Holy exclamations! If this means that I might be a Batman in some multiverse, that is fantastic. 

 

And yay! I do love sharing this Admin Queue, mainly because it makes me laugh.

 

For those that were asking for examples and recommendations, I will say that - like most sys admins - I did start with a huge form with lots of questions, but whittled it down to the basics.  And if you're having any resistance to folks using the queue, I highly recommend leaning heavily into humor, silliness, and pop culture references whenever possible.  For example - what says, "I need help" more than a puppy with a hurt paw in a cone of shame? 

Last detail on this queue - Back in the day, I also had all issues from the Sys Admin Queue go to a team of Sys/Group Admins, but also display on an Issue Report that was on a highly visible Dashboard that included Planners.  That way, everyone could jump in and offer help, even if the higher access folks weren't available. (Kind of like a mini version of the Workfront Community.) This definitely helped share the load, and gave others the opportunity to be the hero. Thanks for tagging me in @MoniqueEvans
