Considerations about adding approvals to a request form
- You can add one or multiple approvers to a request form. You can add only users as approvers.
- You can display approval information on a record created by submitting a request form in the Approved by and Approved date fields. For information, see Create fields.
- When you add multiple approvers to a request form, all approvers must accept the request before a record is created in Workfront Planning.
- If all approvers approve the request, a record is created for the record type associated with the request form.
- If at least one approver rejects the request, and all others approve it, a request is created for the Requests area in Workfront, but no record is created for the record type associated with the request form.
- Adding approvals to a request form is optional. Workfront Planning immediately creates a record when a request is submitted, if the request form is not associated with an approval.
