# 1. Managing E-Approval Flow/Groups

### **Managing E-Approval Flow/Groups**

**E-Approval Flow/Groups: Managing**

The E-Approval Flow/Groups Management page is where the processing of approvals can be defined. Approvals are broken down into Approval Groups and their assigned Participants. The Approval Groups manage the structure of the processing of approvals in a top-down sequential order (Group 1 goes, then Group 2, etc.).

**Note:** The setup for E-Approval Flow/Group applies only to organizations with the **Document Authoring** add-on module.

**Approval Settings** Click the **Approval Settings** button to configure the settings of an approval process.

For **Electronic Approvals**, the only setting to configure is if electronic approvals are enabled or disabled for this template document package. If enabled, all document packages generated based off of this template will have the electronic approvals section enabled. If disabled, all document packages generated based off of this template will have the electronic approvals section disabled.

**Notes:**

Modifying this setting will only affect document packages generated in the future. Document Packages generated in the past will remain how they were. If this setting is enabled (set to Yes), there must be at least one (1) **Approval Group** created and one (1) **Participant** assigned to that group in order for this template document package to be available to be generated.
