Regler för godkännande

Studio approval rules are used to automate approval processes for actions. They allow you to define the criteria for when an approval is required before an action can be performed using a button.

Konfiguration

To add approval rules, proceed as follows:

  1. Open Studio and switch to the required view.

  2. Select the button for which you want to add approval rules.

  3. In the Properties tab on the left, enable the Set approval rules feature.

  4. Specify the Approval Group to limit the approval permission to a specific user group.

  5. Define the Responsible user to create an activity for a specific user when an approval is requested from them.

  6. Add a Description to be displayed in the Approval dialog.

  7. Enable Limit approver to this rule to require approvers to be different users (when there are multiple approval rules).

Optionally, you can also add conditions for the approval rule to be applied by clicking the (filter) icon next to the Approval Group field.

Click Add an approval rule to add another rule.

Click the (trash) icon next to the Approval group field to delete the approval rule.

You can create user groups specifically for approvals.
