Unable to see the approvals under 'My Tasks'

Hello Community,

Although approval tasks are correctly assigned to the respective approvers, only a small subset of the most recent approvals appears under “My Tasks” on the Portal. We need to ensure that a larger number of approval items are visible to users in the “My Tasks” section.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue before, or is there a configuration that controls how many approval tasks are displayed?


How can we increase the number of tasks shown under “My Tasks”?

Hi there @HarshwardhanK 

This is controlled by the Service Portal “My Tasks” widget configuration, not by the approval assignment itself. Most OOB My Tasks widgets have a hardcoded limit (like 10 or 20 records) in the widget server script or via sysparm_limit, which is why only recent approvals show. You can fix this by cloning the widget, increasing the query limit in the server script, or enabling pagination/load more if available. Also double-check the widget filter includes sysapproval_approver so older approvals aren’t excluded by date or state conditions.
