Specifying Approval Settings

You have several options that you can set to specify how a catalog item’s approval workflow will proceed. You can also set conditions on an approval workflow.

To specify approval settings:

1. Double-click on a catalog item to open the Catalog Item Properties dialog box, and then open the Approval tab.
2. Select the Require approval when assignment is present option to force a request for this catalog item to go through an approval process.
3. Select the Disable approval for leased installations option to disable requests for this catalog item from using the approval process.
4. To create conditions—based on Active Directory Groups or OUs, Active Directory properties, and collections—that will force requests for the catalog item to go through an approval process, perform the following steps:
a. Open the subtab of the type of condition you want to add: Group and OU, AD Property, or Collections.
b. Click Add Condition. The Add Condition dialog box opens.
c. Search for the group, OU, AD property, or collection you want to add and place a checkmark next to a item in the search results.

d. Click the Select button to add the condition. The condition is listed on the Approval tab.

e. After the condition is added, specify the Enforcement option you want to take effect: Include or Exclude.
f. Click Save.
