Open the Approval User Setup window.

Specifies workflow users who are involved in approval processes. In the Approval User Setup window, you also set amount limits for specific types of requests and define substitute approvers to whom approval requests are delegated when the original approver is absent.

Note
Approval users, both approval requesters and approvers, must first be set up as workflow users in the Workflow User Group window. For more information, see How to: Set Up Workflow Users.

When you have set up approval users, you can use the setup to create workflow responses for approval workflows. For more information, see step 9 in How to: Create Workflows.

Note
To define that an approval request is not approved until multiple approvers in an approval chain have approved it, set up approvers in a hierarchy. For approver type Approver, set approvers up in the Approval User Setup window. For approver type, Workflow User Group, set approvers up in the Workflow User Groups window and define the hierarchy by assigning incremental numbers to each approver in the Sequence No. field. For more information, see this topic and How to: Set Up Workflow Users.

To define that an approval request is not approved until multiple equal approvers have approved it, regardless of a hirarchy, set up a flat workflow user group. For approver type, Workflow User Group, set up approvers in the Workflow User Groups window and assign the same number to each approver in the Sequence No. field. For more information, see How to: Set Up Workflow Users.

When you have completed the approval user setup, you can use the Approval User Setup Test function to ensure that there are no conflicts in your setup.
