Enabling approvals

Setting up an approval chain

Once approvals are enabled, you can create your first approval chain. There is no limit to how many approval chains you can have, however they will only be utilized if they are assigned as the default chain, or assigned to specific scenario types.

An approval chain consists of the following: 

Submitter: Person who is submitting the scenario request 

Approver(s): Person(s) who will be responsible for approving or rejecting the changes requested. 

Fallback approver: Person who will be placed in the approval chain if the designated approver is no longer in your org.

People notified: Anyone in your org with access to merge a scenario is allowed to be set as a notified person. 



Assigning approval chains

Once you have approval chain(s) created, you can designate chains to be used on certain types of scenarios created. 

At the top of the setup page, you can set a default approval chain for all scenario types that do not have an approval chain assigned.

You can make a chain the default chain for specific types of scenarios by checking the box next to your chain, and choosing which scenario types it should be used for.
