- We will send an approval request link via email notification to the partner manager. Clicking the approval link will direct you to a website where the approval request estimate can be viewed, and then accepted or rejected.

Once submitted, how long will it take to complete my Development ticket?
We will do our best to meet the date specified in the approval request. Your support analyst will follow up with the ticket and manage the flow throughout the development process. The support analyst will be able to keep you up to date on the progress.
