Select this option to use an external approval matrix, defined in the Business Rules.

For details about creating and activating matrices see Business Rules.

To use an external approval matrix:

  1. Select the approval matrix name from the drop-down list box showing all active approval matrices. After a matrix is selected, its description is displayed next to the drop-down list box.
  2. After a matrix is selected, the list of input parameters for this matrix becomes available. These are displayed in a table with these columns:
    Matrix parameter
    The name of the matrix input parameter. Move the pointer over the name to see its description in a tooltip.
    Data type
    The data type of the matrix input parameter.
    Workflow parameter
    Select a workflow parameter to map to the matrix input parameter. The data type of the workflow parameter must match the data type of the matrix input parameter.
    When mapping workflow parameters to matrix input parameters, the data type conversion is performed automatically. CODE, HYPERLINK, USER, DISTRIBUTION GROUP are converted to STRING.
