($ T_466 Approval Iteration $)

Specifies the number of times approval requests are sent for a record when multiple approvers are involved. This table is used to manage the sequence in which multiple approvers are notified of requests. The functionality applies to both the Approver and Workflow User Group options in the ($ T_1523_12 Approver Type $) field in the ($ N_1521 Workflow Response $) window.

To define that an approval request is not approved until multiple approvers in an approval chain have approved it, set up approvers in a hierarchy. For approver type Approver, set approvers up in the ($ N_663 Approval User Setup $) window. For approver type, Workflow User Group, set approvers up in the ($ N_1533 Workflow User Groups $) window and define the hierarchy by assigning incremental numbers to each approver in the ($ T_1541_3 Sequence No. $) field. For more information, see How to: Set Up Approval Users and How to: Set Up Workflow Users.

To define that an approval request is not approved until multiple equal approvers have approved it, regardless of a hirarchy, set up a flat workflow user group. For approver type, Workflow User Group, set up approvers in the ($ N_1533 Workflow User Groups $) window and assign the same number to each approver in the ($ T_1541_3 Sequence No. $) field. For more information, see How to: Set Up Workflow Users.
