Approval Tab

Note:Not available when creating a group catalog item.

Approval controls whether a catalog item requires approval (processes workflow) for a user based on conditions. For each condition, you can choose Include or Exclude.

If the user matches an include condition, the item requires approval.
If the user matches an exclude condition, the item does not require approval.

Exclude conditions are evaluated first. If a user matches an exclude condition, no further processing occurs and the item does not require approval. If there are both exclude and include conditions specified, the user must not match exclude conditions and must match include conditions for the item to require approval.

On the Approval tab, you specify the settings that determine who or what computer must apply to approval rules.
