The use of approvals processing with profiles is optional. If your organization uses approvals processing, it is configured at the profile type level. An approval definition is selected for a profile type on the Profile Types - Attributes page and you then specify whether a role for a content section requires approval on the Content Section page. For further information about defining profile types see Creating Profile Group Types and Profile Groups.

If approval is required for a content section role, any additions, updates or deletions trigger approvals workflow. The PeopleSoft application delivers approval definitions for person profiles that are configured so that when employees update or create a profile, their manager approves changes. However, you can create approval definitions to configure approvals according to your requirements.

Managers use the Approval Profiles page to view approvals and they approve or deny changes at the profile level. Employees can track their own approvals using the Profile Approval History component - Approve Profiles page.
