instanceConfigpage for community leadersThe

The table below describes the instance parameters for the Order Approval gear that can be configured on the instanceConfig page. Typically, they are set by the community leader.
Note that these instance parameters determine the function and display of the content pages that are used in the gear’s order approval process. Consequently, if the gear’s approval process is not being used (that is, the approval process of the commerce application is being used instead), then these parameters have no relevance or impact on how the gear functions.
