Joint approval

Joint approval is used in cases where approval from multiple users is required before moving the document to the next stage.

• You specify which stages you want to be jointly approved.
• If joint approval is active, then all the approvers specified for this stage must approve the document.
• The exception is an administrator, who can force a document to the next stage.
• If a group is specified as an approver, only one user per group is required to approve the document.
• If that user is a member of more than the Group that has been given Approve access, then all the groups will be considered as having approved the document.
