Approvals
Streamline multi-level approvals
Overview
Approval flows ensure that changes made in a scenario go through the necessary review process before implementation. Scenario creators can define a structured approval flow with two levels of approvers, keeping decision-making streamlined and transparent.
Setting Up Approvals
After making changes in a scenario and before submitting a scenario for approval, approvers must be set up.
1. Understanding approval levels
Organizational lever approvers There are two levels of organization level approvals, which the admin defines.
Level 1 reviewers: individuals who check items such as budget implications, org chart hygiene, accuracy of job titles etc.
Level 2 reviewers: decision makers who get the final say on hires
Once approvers are added, they receive an email notification with a link to the scenario.
Scenario level approvers
There are two additional levels of approvals, which the scenario creator defines.
Level 0 reviewers: Optional pre-check reviewers who can provide input before the standard approval chain begins.
Level 3 reviewers: Optional final reviewers who sign off after the standard Level 2 decision-makers, often used for executive or cross-functional alignment.
