TCS® approval
In integrated IBM® Marketing Operations and IBM® Campaign systems, campaign project templates can require TCS® (target cell spreadsheet) approval before flowcharts run in production mode. If Approval Required is selected on the template, then all rows of the TCS® must to be approved before the flowchart can run in production mode. 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 from 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.
