   • Approver Rule. Provides a list of rules (currently defined for your system) that, when evaluated, returns the recipients’ account IDs.

   • Approval times out after. Provides a method for specifying when the approval will time out.

     The Approval times out after setting affects both initial approvals and escalated approvals.

2. Select a rule from the Approver Rule menu.

3. Decide whether you want the approval request to timeout after a specified period of time.

   • If you want to specify a timeout period, continue to To Configure Approval Timeouts for instructions.

   • If you do not want to specify a timeout period, you can continue to Configuring the Approval Form (Approvals Tab, Approval Form Configuration Section) or save your changes and go on to configure a different tab.
