Users with the Approve Professional Development Credits right can see notifications from pending credit item requests under Credits for Approval.
If your district has set up approval requirements for certain credits and for certain users, then the users’ external portfolio requests will be sent to Credit Type Review first. There, you will see the credit type flagged for review, where you can modify the credit items and approve or deny credit.
