I have some SharePoint experience pretty much self taught so experience is somewhat beginner to intermediate and have done some custom workflows, presently using SharePoint 20210. I currently have a task to create a workflow that as people put a leave request in the calendar it goes through an approval process but the catch is the boss doesn’t want it visible/entered in the calendar until its approved. (I have one built to where it appears as “Pending” than changes to approved when done.) I’ve tried doing custom and tried using the built-in workflows but not sure how to make that happen, can’t figure how to not show until approved. Is this something that it should it be doing out of the box with the built-in workflows and I’m just missing something or does that need to be scripted or customized?
This is not possible. One option would be to just set all views of the calendar to only show “approved” items. This would still allow someone to see the “pending” requests but they would need to create their own view to do that.
