How to submit a daily or weekly activities report for approval using Collavate

Table of Contents

By using the template feature of Collavate, you can quickly and securely request approvals using the same format. For example, imagine a scenario where team members repeatedly submit daily or weekly reports in the same format to their superiors (such as team leaders, department heads, etc.) and receive approval. Collavate simplifies this process, supporting team members to easily submit systematic and comprehensive activity reports. With Collavate templates, you can save frequently submitted approver information for that template for individuals/organizations, or even save approval settings, thereby reducing repetitive work procedures and increasing work efficiency.

Especially in fields where precision and compliance are of paramount importance, the approval process of Collavate can be used as a key tool. For example, in a large hospital network, if department heads regularly submit reports on patient care activities, they can quickly request approval without having to assign a new reviewer each time by using a pre-made Collavate template and making simple edits to the document. The submitted approval documents are then meticulously reviewed by medical directors and administrators, and securely stored in an admin’s Google Drive environment.
