My Requests

How do employees raise requests that actually move through an approval workflow?

Requests in My continON run on the platform’s process engine: each request type is a workflow the organization has designed, and a submitted request advances through its states with history retained. The employee sees their own requests and where each one stands.

How it works

A request is a business-process instance, not an email: submitting one creates a workflow instance that advances through configured states, notifies the right actors — resolved by position, not by name — and keeps its activity history. The request list in the workspace shows the employee’s submissions with their current state.

Because request types are configuration, the catalog is the organization’s own: whatever processes are published as requests — with their forms, approvers, and generated documents — appear here. Leave has its dedicated screens as well, and both roads lead to recorded approvals rather than inbox threads.

What the record holds at once

Held constantMy Requests 4 states, at the same time

  • Workflow-backed requests

    Each submission is a process instance with states, actors, and retained history.

  • Actors by position

    Approvers resolve from the org model — initiator’s supervisor, head of unit, named position groups.

  • A catalog you define

    Request types are processes the organization designs and publishes, with their own forms.

  • Status without asking

    The employee’s request list shows the current state of every submission.
