This report lists documents to which specific approver groups have been assigned. Documents assigned only to individual approvers will not be included, even if the individual approvers happen to be members of the selected approver groups.

All options available for this report are displayed on the left. Notice that the number of currently selected groups is displayed after the Groups option, which you can click anytime to change your user selection.
