This is a part of the Workflows feature. Click here to learn more about Workflows.


Workflow Approval Groups can be created so that multiple Users instead of just one User can be assigned to a set approval level in My Workflows. When a Workflow Group is created and set in Workflow Setup, all Users within that Workflow Group will have the same transactions appear in their 'My List' in My Workflows, enabling any User to approve those transactions.
