Multiple Approvals

Users may choose to have multiple approval paths run on the same work item or page simultaneously, which allows faster and independent approval paths to happen.

How to run multiple paths?

You can achieve this by simply adding an additional path to the work item/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 work item.

1. Scroll down until you reach the “Activity” section.

2. Select the “Approval Path” option.

3. Select the “New” tab.

4. In order to start an approval, simply click on the play icon displayed in the “Actions” column.

5. Once you start a path, you will be directed to the “Approvals” tab.

6. Select the “New” tab 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.

You can filter approval paths by,

• Definition (Name)
