Multiple Approvals
Users may choose to have multiple approval paths run on the same issue or page simultaneously, this allows for faster and independent approval paths to happen.
All features including API are available for multiple approval paths
How to run multiple paths?
You can achieve this by simply adding additional path on the issue/page of your choice. Keep in mind that you still need to have approval definitions defined and ready to add.
Once you have your definitions, simply open the page,
Look right below the page title
Select the “Approval Path” option
Select the “New” tab
In order to start an approval, simply click on the play icon displayed on the right side of the path
Once you start a path you will be directed to the “Approvals” tab
Select the “New” again and start another approval
By default, you will see all ongoing approval paths, you can also use the “Filter results” option to narrow down or extend your search.
Filter results
The filter in this view is limited to the paths that have occurred on this particular issue.
You can filter approval paths by,
Name
Status (in progress by default)
Originator of the path
Assignee (This is the user with active step)
For example, if “Peter” is selected the filter will look for any path in progress with Peter’s active step (waiting for Peter to approve).
