Assigning a Group or Groups as the Reviewer

If you select individual users as reviewers, all users must approve, and the approvals must follow the order in which the users are entered. If you select a group (or groups) as a reviewer, any user within the group can be the reviewer and can promote to the next level.

The following are some examples of how you can enter multiple reviewers:

Example 24-3 Example 1

North America - Bill
     USA - Nick, Sandy, Kim
          CA - John

The approval path is John, Nick, Sandy, Kim, Bill.

Example 24-4 Example 2

North America - Bill
     USA – {Group A}
          CA - John

The approval path is John, any user in Group A, Bill.

Example 24-5 Example 3

North America – {Group B}, Bill
     USA – Susan, {Group A}
          CA - John

The approval path is John, Susan, any user in Group A, any user in Group B, Bill.

Example 24-6 Example 4

North America – {Group B}, Bill
     USA – Susan, {Group A}
     CA - John
**A validation rule indicates that if New Hires > 4, then before USA, set {Group HR} as reviewer.

If the condition is true for the CA approval unit, then the path is: John, any user in Group HR, Susan, any user in Group A, any user in Group B, Bill.
