Approve Scheduled Tasks Dialog

This dialog is used for approving, rejecting or putting on hold a selection of scheduled tasks sharing the same approval level.

This dialog is purely used to make a record that task approvals have been managed in InfoAsset Manager, not to monitor individual approvals.

The dialog is displayed when Scheduling | Approve scheduled tasks is selected from the Network menu.
