Determining the Approval Steps 
Determining the Approval Steps
Use
You must check all the requests of the QA worklist in a QA system which are active and apply to the approval step for this system.
After configuring your QA system, you can determine and change the approval steps for this system.
By default, there are 3 system-wide approval steps and the step Approved by system administrator is active.
You can also define other steps in addition to the default approval steps. If you define additional approval steps and have configured more than one QA system, you can determine if the additional steps are to be system-/client-specific (only one QA system) or cross-system/client (global).
The type of approval step determines which authorization is required to be able to process this step.
