SSA Approval Path - GRT2130

Grants and Projects > Tables > SSA Approval Path

This page is used to create and maintain the sequence or hierarchy of approvers for grant requests. The order in which the approvers are listed indicates the approval sequence. You can add to or edit the approval path as needed. If a change is made to the approval path, the change will apply to all grant requests that have yet to reach that specific approver.

Notes: Any changes made to the approval path are immediate and automatically update (move) existing requests.
