 * I haven’t found an answer to this yet so I’m starting a new thread…you have been
   so helpful in the past that I look forward to learning thru this 🙂
    Is there
   a way that I can put a Pending Approval in the database before it is actually
   saved giving the manager the authority to approve or deny? IF you could help 
   I would appreciate it 🙂 Thank you

 * Short answer: No.
 * But with the CFDB Editor, you can set up an “Approved” column (for example) in
   the results then set values to “yes” on cells that you approve. Then in shortcodes
   and exports you can add a filter “Approved=yes” to only show such results.

 * SWEET! and it can be completely gui for the client? I’m just the developer and
   I know that he wants to have the capability to do this not me 🙂 does that make
   sense?
    So I just add another column called approved, toggle it then put the 
   approved=yes in the short code…that’s it?

 * Yes then display the table on the front end making the whole table or just the
   approved column editable by adding the attribute edit=”yes” to the shortcode.
 * Just did something similar for my client!
