@Prudhvi Raj Y 

workspace is for agents and not for approvers

Why approvers will use Workspace.

I will suggest you inform this to your customer and train them about the platform features

Approvers usually approve from either of the below 2 places

1) replying to email they receive

OR

2) via ESC portal

OR

3) via native view (not many customers are using this now for their approvers)

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

 

Agreed, but the issue is we are using approval with emails or portal as this is custom application users want to handle the approval from workspace only 

@Prudhvi Raj Y 

I still feel there is no strong case for approvers to use workspace and they should be trained to use the OOTB ways

Why they can't use ESC Portal to approve/reject?

Why they can't reply to emails to approve/reject?

If your business still requires you will need to see why the OOTB buttons are not coming in workspace OR create new ones for approval from your custom table only
