How do I set up a process specific approver in PATH?

Tags path

In some situations, the approver in a role may not be the best option to approve a specific process they are assigned. When this happens, changes can be made in PATH to create a new approver for this specific process without interfering with the other processes this person approves.

  1. In path.charlotte.edu go to Dashboard > Role Assignments

  4. Click on Search for Organization from the new blank row that appears at the bottom of the Role Assignments section
  5. Select the Organization from the drop-down list and click Continue 

    The selected Organization level should match the default Approver Org level you are changing. For example, in this scenario, the default routing goes to the Department Business Coordinator (L4), so the Level 4 Org is selected.
