The approvals dashboard has a screen for bulk approvals which makes it quick and easy for individuals to process a large number of items at once.

Select the items that require approval by clicking the box in the left most column. The decision maker can then add a note to be included in the approval and submit the decision by clicking the Reject or Approve button at the bottom of the screen.

When the decisions have been submitted, a notification will appear to indicate success:

The items will disappear from the approval list, but can be seen in the 'Actioned by me' report.

Upon viewing the individual submission records you can see the approval event, with comments, goes through the same as it would if the user has approved the submissions one by one.
