Common questions about how security and governance work in NxtLayr.
Q: Why do some actions require approval?
Approvals are used for actions or decisions that should be governed rather than executed immediately.
Q: Why did my approval request expire?
If a request has an expiry time and no decision is made before that time, it becomes expired automatically.
Q: Can all users upload attachments?
Not necessarily. Attachment visibility depends on page support and user permissions.
Q: Why are activity timelines important?
They preserve comments, decisions, assignment changes, and status history so users can understand how a work item evolved.
Q: Do notifications replace approvals or comments?
No. Notifications help users notice changes, but approvals and comments preserve the formal workflow and operational context.
Q: Can Executive Viewers take action on governed workflows?
No. Executive Viewer is intended to be read-only.
