11.1 Approval Process
11.1.1 What is approved
Approval allows you to specify the sequence of steps necessary to approve record. Each step of the approval process will be designated approval, including the approval of the request to initiate the operation object and process each time point or links need to be taken. For example, the company's capital expenditure approval process: If the amount of US $ 50 or less, to approve the request. If the amount is higher than $ 50, send a request to approve the direct manager. If the amount is higher than $ 5,000, and the first approval request is approved, send a request for approval to the vice president. If all approval requests were approved, it will change the status to "approved" and unlock the record. If any approval request is denied approval, it will change the status to "Rejected" and unlock the record. This approval process will automatically be allocated according to the number of requests each request to the right person in your organization. When the records of expenditure submit for approval, it will be locked so that users can not edit it and change its status to "submit."

1、准备创建批准过程
（1）批准计划
（2）准备工作
对于批准过程，我们需要的预备步骤是定义一个电子邮件模板，用于指定通知指定批准人有批准请求需要处理。
2、选择正确向导，以创建批准过程
（1）进入批准过程创建窗口：设置 -> 创建 -> 工作流和批准 -> 批准过程
（2）选择正确向导，完成批准过程的创建
3、向批准过程添加批准步骤
每个批准过程由一系列批准步骤组成，每个步骤都允许一个或多个指 定批准人批准或拒绝记录。换句话说，批准记录所需的每个“签名”都必须在批准过程中有 一个对应的步骤。批准步骤由以下内容组成：
- 一个或多个指定批准人；
- 过滤器条件（可选），在这个步骤中只要求批准满足特定条件的记录；
- 无论整个批准过程的结果如何，都会执行的批准操作（可选步骤）；
- 无论整个批准过程的结果如何，都会执行的拒绝操作（可选步骤）。
对于我们的新职位批准过程，需要定义两个步骤：
