About this task

For each rule, you can select the individual approvers, approvers from the Third-party due diligence request [sn_tprm_dd_request] table, or dynamic approvers. Dynamic approvers refer to individuals or groups who are assigned as approvers based on the Approver table that is defined in the approval rule form. The approvers can be a Third-party risk (TPR) manager or TPR administrator.

Each approval level can contain multiple approval rules. Each approval rule can be created on the table of the approving record or any other related table of the approving table.
