Notify Approvers on Entry

Determines what type of approvers should be notified.

Select:

Notify all approvers - to notify any approvers on the approval group regardless of whether the Required field is selected.
Notify all required approvers - to notify any approvers on the approval group where the Required field is selected.

This field is used in conjunction with the setting in the Notify Approvers field. Notify Approvers on Entry refers only to the Required field on the approver group.

Select:

Don't notify them - Only the user defined as the approver receives notification.
Whenever the primary is notified - Users defined as approvers and alternates receive notification.

If the approver has not taken approval action on the budget adjustment once the time has been met in the Remind Every field of the Reminder workflow type, notifications are then sent to the users defined as alternates.
