About approving the TCS
When a project is created from a template on which the Approval Required check box is selected, then every row in the TCS (target cell spreadsheet) linked to a flowchart must be approved before that flowchart can be executed in production mode in Campaign. If you run the flowchart in production mode and one or more rows on the TCS associated with this flowchart are not approved, Campaign generates an error.
If necessary, you can approve each row on a TCS individually. You can approve rows as soon as they are complete and correct, even if other rows on the TCS are not yet ready to be approved.
If the project was created using a template on which the Approval Required check box is not selected, then approval is not required for top-down cells in the TCS. In this case, the TCS grid does not show the approval column or approve all and deny all. Leaving the approval required check box cleared saves time if campaigns do not require TCS approval.
*
By default, Approval Required is cleared. However, after you upgrade to Marketing Operations 8.5, all upgraded campaign templates have Approval Required checked.
Import and export
If Approval Required is selected, the is approved column is included when you export the project.
If Approval Required is cleared, the is approved column does not export, and only matching CSV files import.
