The Manage Approval Paths page allows District Admin users to add or edit approval paths for each space within ML Schedules.
1. Select Locations > Manage Approval Paths.
2. To add an approval path, select the Add Approval Path button.
3. Enter the Name for the Approval path (this is what will be listed on the Space and Site settings).
4. Enter a Description for the Approval Path.
5. Select if you would like to restart approvals on all pending requests using this approval path. If you would like to select YES. If not, select NO and all requests going forward will follow the new path.
6. Select the Plus Icon to add approval steps as needed.
6A. Select whether you want your approval step to be triggered by a field.
6b. If you want someone to approve based on a question being triggered, choose the Field Radio button and the respective user you want to approve it. (Only Yes/No Fields) will appear here.
Example: If you need someone to approve a request from the tech department if I/T support is needed. You would choose Field > I/T Support > The user who is responsible for approving that. This means that anytime that field is triggered on the request by selecting YES, this person will be included in the approval path. If they choose NO, the step will be skipped.
6C. If you don't want the step to be dependent on a request field, choose User only and select your respective person (This is how it worked previously)
7. Select the Save button.
Note 1: If a user is missing from the drop-down, edit their user account, click the permission tab, check off Space Approver, and click Save. Upon returning to this page, you can then add them to the approval path.
Note 2: If multiple users are selected for one approval step, only one of those users has to act upon the request in order to keep it moving in the process.
Note 3: You can click the "Space Using Approval Path" tab to see all spaces currently using this approval path.
