  3. You can rename the process if you need to, and add a description to clarify the role of the process. If you change the Unique Name ensure that it conforms to the standard rules for unique names:

    • Begins with a letter.
    • Includes only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
    • Cannot end with an underscore.
    • Cannot include two consecutive underscores.

    Renaming the process overwrites the original process - it does not preserve the original with the original name.

    Entry Criteria

    Typically, if you are setting up an approval process for vacancies you will want all vacancies to enter the process and be passed or rejected by the process. In that case, leave entry criteria blank so that there are no barriers to entry.

    Authorising Manager must be defined on the application.

  5. To add extra entry criteria, complete Field, Operator and Value fields for each new criteria.

    To change the process to use a formula to qualify new vacancies, select the picklist for Use this approval process if the following and choose formula evaluates to true. Then enter your formula.

  6. Select Next.
