Configuring Approval Profiles

An approval profile describes how the Approval Request pages appear, which systems are used, and defines the Approval workflow. Create different approval profiles for different types of approval requests. For example, create different profiles for different approval workflows, different issue tracking or SCM systems, different sets of fields that are required to be displayed, different validation rules, and so on.
