The "Approval Flow" is an important part of the Reports features. It behaves like a map for how the Reports be submitted/approved and it determines what happens to a Report after it has been submitted by the employee.

Since the Approval Flow is such an important component, only the Account Owner/Primary Administrator can create or edit the Approval Flow.

Watch the video demonstration or keep scrolling down to read through the step-by-step instructions!

Step 1: Click on "Team Settings" on the bottom of the left hand sidebar menu of the Team Dashboard.

Step 2: Click "Approval Flow"

Step 3: Click "+ Add Step" to add to your Approval Flow. You can add or remove approvers, set up multi-level approvals, add a payer, or send someone a copy.

• The Approval Flow defines what happens after a report has been submitted.  
• Only the Account owners can adjust the approval flow.

Here are the following roles/actions you can include in the Approval Flow:  

• Team Lead Needs to Approve (default): The team member’s direct manager will approve the submitted report.  If there are multiple approvers, we recommend you keep this as the first step / first approver.
• Needs to Approve: Assign a person who needs to approve submitted reports.
• Needs to Mark as Paid: Assign the person who needs to mark reports that have been paid.
• Receives a copy: Assign a person who will be forwarded a copy of all reports at the selected step.

You can add any combination of these steps to your approval flow; however, there must be at least one step in the approval flow at all times.

Step 4: Click one of the "Save" buttons to save the changes. 

Step 5: Done! The next report that is submitted by an employee will follow the latest Approval Flow.
