To create an approval process for a workflow approval task
From the spreadsheet view of a workflow, you have the option of adding an approval process to a particular task. A task with an approval process attached to it has the approval icon (Thumbs up image) in the Linked Step field.
1.
Navigate to the Workflow tab of the project that contains the approval task.
2.
In view mode, click the name of an approval task.
The Start Approval dialog appears as a popup.
3.
Complete the details for the approval.
4.
Click one of the following to complete the process.
*
Send Approval: saves the approval and submits it (changing the status from Not Started to In Progress).
*
Save for Later: saves the approval process and sets the status to Not Started.
*
Cancel: discards your changes and does not create an approval.
The dialog closes and the system displays the workflow tab where you initiated the approval process.
After you create an approval from a workflow task, you can edit only the approval itself; you cannot edit the corresponding task in the workflow.
