auto-approved

Auto-approved means in the state of having been approved automatically, without a separate manual approval decision.

In plain English

This status shows that approval happened by itself rather than through a person making an additional decision. It describes the result: the item already counts as approved, and no separate manual sign-off was made.

In context

Here, it reports that approval was recorded automatically and not through a manual reviewer decision.

Situation
Running procurement, vendor review, purchase approval, and contract workflow
What it communicates
reports that approval was recorded without manual reviewer action

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not show the reason for the automatic approval beyond the absence of a separate manual decision.

Examples

“Although nobody made a separate sign-off, the request was auto-approved before lunch.”

Core meaning

“The register listed the application as auto-approved, with no reviewer named.”

In context

  • approved Broader Term

    Anything described as auto-approved is approved.

  • manually approved Contrast

    Both indicate approval status, but manually approved includes a separate manual approval decision.
