Any new event organizer will have to respond to the above form/survey while creating their event. In order to approve or deny the event, go back to your group and manage the form/survey.
Let's have a look at how the approval process works.
An officer has submitted an event named "Annual Gala Dinner".
Once the form/survey is submitted, you can approve or deny it by managing the form/survey. Click See Workflow to get to the workflow screen where you can quickly access the submission or chat with the approval team.
Note: The event will be approved automatically once the workflow is approved.
Until you approve it, the event status is Pending Approval and will not appear on the list of events or the calendar.
Once the form/survey is approved, the appropriate audience(s) will be able to view the event, add it to their calendar, and/or RSVP.
