            • Add Email Alerts to the Approval Process
              Link the email templates that you created to the action in the approval process: Initial Submission Actions, Final Approval Actions, Final Rejection Actions, and Recall Actions.
            • Add an Approval Step to the Approval Process
              Add an approval step to determine the records that can advance to that step and the approver, and whether to let an approver’s delegate respond to the requests.
            • Add Field Update to the Approval Process
              Field updates change the selected field after the approval process is complete. For example, when a territory manager approves a shift, the Status field of the shift is updated from tentative to confirmed. You can add field updates for Initial Submission Actions, Final Rejection Actions, and Recall Actions.
            • Activate the Shift Approval Process
              After setting up the approval process, always activate the approval process.
