Creating the processes, rules, and filters


To carry out your approval process, you should:

  • Create the processes and rules that you have designed.
  • Include Process Done rules to make sure that the approval process result is reported to the approval request form when the process is done.
  • Create at least one filter that will start the approval process when a requester submits an entry in the approval request form.

The filter conditions should cause the filter to run on submit (and possibly on modify). On the If Action tab, enter a Run Process action to run the New-Details application command. This initiates the approval process.

For some examples of filters that start an approval process, see the filters included in the sample applications, such as AP-Sample2:Start Approvals, AP-Sample:Start Cost Approval, and so on. For information about defining filters, see Creating-filters.

For details about application commands, see Calling-Approval-Server-application-commands-in-your-application.

Test your processes, rules, and filters together to verify that the approval workflow operates correctly and covers all possible outcomes of the approval process.
