See Settings/ Update/ Employee Master to verify that the employee is assigned to the appropriate department. Authorizing employees must have security access to the appropriate Authorization Explorer option. When this field is left blank, the Authorization Group field is available.

Authorization Update checkbox

When selected, the checkbox indicates that the current Authorization Step will be the last step in the authorization process. During the creation of the Authorization Steps, this checkbox should only be selected for the final step before the record is to be released from authorization.

Step Order

This number indicates the order of Steps if one or multiple Steps are created. This number is automatically created and can be overridden and changed to any number. It is recommended that the user enter Steps in a standard incremental pattern (i.e. Step 5, Step 10, Step 15, etc.) to allow for the insertion of Steps into the sequence at a later time if required.

Parallel Step checkbox

The Parallel Step functionality allows for the grouping of a set of steps to be authorized in conjunction with one another during the Authorization Process. This is useful when several departments are required to authorize steps at the same time before the Authorization Process can continue on to the next step. When this checkbox is selected, the Parallel Group field becomes available.

Parent Step Order

The Parent Step Order field allows for the creation of a Parent/Child relationship between steps in the Authorization Process. This may be useful if two individuals from the same department need to authorize a particular step (i.e. a Manager and a Supervisor).

This indicates how the Authorization Process will react when a Step is rejected.

Start - Will return the Authorization Process to the first step.

Return To - Will return the Authorization Process to a specific Authorization Step as specified by the 'Return To' Step number in the Return To Step Order field.

Re-Release - Will return the Authorization Process to the queue where it will await Release For Authorization.
