Group Approvals –
With approvals you usually want somebody to take ownership and to take action.
Group Approvals are for those who have a team of people where anyone in the team can approve. Perhaps its a project team or a flat authority.
You can create a workflow step where you select “Group Approval”. This means you can send an approval to a group of people and choose how to allocate it in the group.
The options are:
Time-Outs
You can also select a “Time Out” for the Round Robin & Dynamic option – this means that if the approver hasn’t taken action in the allotted amount of hours then it will go onto the next person in the group.
Epic Fail
There are handlers in the Group approval for things like everybody being off and anything to avoid a perpetual loop. In one of these circumstances, we will fail the approval and leave you with a warning so you can take action.
