# Display approvers in workflow stage fields {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Australia

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

Enable workflow stage fields to display approvers, change the number of approvers to display, or disable displaying approvers.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

By default, only workflow stage fields that use the Workflow-driven renderer can display a list of approvers. Only these [workflow stage renderer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WqAGE3zEmBGN2Ezr8KiPEQ#r_WorkflowStageRenderers "Workflow stage renderers determine how a workflow displays stages in a workflow field.") types support displaying approvers.

* Linear renderer
* Main flow renderer
* Workflow-driven renderer
{#display-approvers-workflow-stages__ul_grj_r35_b2b}

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllWorkflowAdministrationProperties.  
   The system displays the Workflow Properties page.
2. Set the following properties.  
   {#display-approvers-workflow-stages__table_r1g_315_b2b__entry__2}

   | Property | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Number of approvers to show if approvers are displayed for workflow stages. Only valid for supported list v2 renderers. glide.workflow.renderer.show_approver_limit | Sets the maximum number of approvers to display within a workflow stage field. The system displays an ellipsis character when there are more approvers than the display limit allows. * Type: integer * Default value: 5 {#display-approvers-workflow-stages__ul_j4t_415_b2b} |
   | Show approvers when displaying workflow stages with the Linear renderer. glide.workflow.renderer.linear.show_approver | Enables (true) or disables (false) the Linear renderer to display approvers. * Type: true \| false * Default value: false {#display-approvers-workflow-stages__ul_nym_4b5_b2b} |
   | Show approvers when displaying workflow stages with the Main flow renderer. glide.workflow.renderer.mainflow.show_approver | Enables (true) or disables (false) the Main flow renderer to display approvers. * Type: true \| false * Default value: false {#display-approvers-workflow-stages__ul_yxm_qb5_b2b} |
   | Show approvers when displaying workflow stages with the Workflow-driven renderer. glide.workflow.renderer.workflowdriven.show_approver | Enables (true) or disables (false) the Workflow-driven renderer to display approvers. * Type: true \| false * Default value: true {#display-approvers-workflow-stages__ul_ur1_rb5_b2b} |

3. Click Save.
4. Add stages to workflows that have associated workflow stage fields.  
   Note:  
   If you add stages to a subflow, the parent workflow must also have stages.
5. For each approval activity you want to display approvers, select a Stage value.  
   For example, the sample workflow Service Catalog Item Request has two approval activities. The first Approval - User activity has a Stage value of <kbd class="ph userinput">Dept. Head Approval</kbd>. The second Approval - User activity has a Stage value of <kbd class="ph userinput">CIO Approval</kbd>.

## Result

The workflow stage field renderers you enabled display approvers up to the approver display limit. For example, a Workflow-driven stage field displays up to five approvers when the workflow reaches an approval stage.
