Define Approval Dependencies Right-Click Options

Use the following options on the Define Approval Dependencies right-click options menu to work with approvals.

Option

Description

View approval

Displays the View Approval dialog box. On this dialog box, you view information for the selected approval.

View Approval Users

Displays the View Approval Users dialog box. On this dialog box, you view approval definitions and users/business groups assigned to an approval. This allows you to preview the users who are responsible for the approvals in the current batch. You cannot make changes to the approval assignments here. Make changes on the Maintain Approvals window.

Remove Approval

Removes the selected approval from the dependency structure of the batch. This sets the Order value of the selected Approval to zero so that there is no dependency between this approval and other approvals in the dependency structure. The approval record is still generated for this approval when the batch is submitted. The approval is removed from the Selected Approvals section of the Approval Dependencies dialog box and can be retrieved using either the Fetch Associated or Fetch All button.

Remove All Approvals

Removes all the approvals from the dependency structure of the batch. This sets the Order value of all of the approvals to a value of zero so there is no dependency between the approvals, but the approval records are still generated when the batch is submitted. The approvals are removed from the Selected Approvals section of the Approval Dependencies dialog box and can be retrieved using either the Fetch Associated or Fetch All button.

Ignore All Approvals

This option selects the Ignore check box for all the approvals in the Selected Approvals section, and removes them from the dependency structure of the batch. This speeds up the dependency structure definition process. Individual approvals can then be activated in the dependency structure by deselecting the Ignore check box.

Enable All Approvals

This option deselects the Ignore check box for all of the approvals in the Selected Approvals section, making them part of the dependency structure of the batch. Individual approvals can be removed from the dependency structure by selecting the Ignore check box for the Approval. This feature speeds up the dependency structure definition process.

Fetch Associated Approvals

Approvals assigned to the batch directly, or to the clients or entities in the batch are retrieved.

Fetch All Approvals

For a client level batch, approvals assigned to the entities owned by the clients contained in the batch are retrieved. For an entity level batch, approvals assigned to the clients that own the entities contained in the batch are retrieved.
