To create an approval, you must enter basic information, design the required forms, and design the process.

Step 1: Basic Information

Step 3: Process Design

In process design, you can set the content of each approval node, including the approvers, approval methods, readable and editable fields, and whether transfer or additional approvers are allowed.

You can design more complicated approval processes by adding additional approvers to create multiple nodes and adding branches to configure different approval processes for different situations.
