My VP does not like the current process he uses to approve contracts and other objects.  He uses the "Items to Approve" component on the home page, but for each item, he clicks to go view the actual record with all the details.  Then he approves or denies, then has to click the home tab again to see the next item in his list.

I would like to add a similiar widget to the sidebar instead so that he doesn't have to click the home tab every time to see his list.

Has anyone done anything like this already?  I'm sure it's possible, but have no idea how to do it.

It doesn't have to look exactly like the current component, all I need is a list to show up on the sidebar.

Thanks!
