Dynamic Approval Routing Rules
Rules are used in the Dynamic Approval Routing feature to allow the approval path to be very flexible and accommodate a myriad of business requirements.

Every user and/or role to be added to an approval path must be added by a rule.
Two types of rules are used for the Dynamic Approval Routing:
When configuring the Dynamic Approval Routing, it is recommended to create rules first, then create the approval paths because inclusion rules are required to populate paths. Once rules have been defined, the system administrator can configure the actual approval path.
