# View approval history on contracts

You can view the approval history for a contract in the Approval History related list on the Contract form.

## Before you begin

Role required: workflow\_admin, admin, or sn\_eam.enterprise\_admin \(Enterprise Asset Workspace only\)

## About this task

After a contract is sent to an approver for review, the approver name cannot be changed. If the approver rejects a contract, the same approver or a different approver can be specified before the contract is sent for approval again. Once the contract has been reviewed and approved, approval history records are automatically listed in the Approval History related list on the Contract form.

## Procedure

1.  Open the list of contracts that are used across your deployment.

    -   If you are using the core UI, navigate to **Contract** > **Contracts** > **All**.
    -   If you are using the Hardware Asset Workspace, open the Contract management view and then select the **All contracts** tab.
    -   If you are using the Enterprise Asset Workspace, open the Contract and lease management view and then select the **All contracts** tab.
2.  Select a contract.

3.  Select the **Approval History** tab.

4.  Click a record to view the approval details.
