Overview
When a stage has an approver, you can set the approval type at every approval level — On Site or Remote. This controls where the approver is allowed to give their approval.
On Site
Approval can be given from the mobile app only.
The approver must be inside the project radius (geofence) to approve.
Use it when you want the approver physically present on site to sign off.
Remote
Approval can be given from both web and mobile.
The approver can be anywhere — there's no location requirement.
Use it when the approver reviews off site (e.g. a manager or client).
🧭 Where to set it
The approval type is set per level, on any stage that has an approver (up to 3 levels).
You can set it while configuring the stage, or in bulk across checklists (see 2.5.14).
