- Any member of an Operator Group can prompt an Approver who is a member of the matching Approver Group for confirmation of an intervention.
- For a given Approval Request the Operator can specify the preferred Approver (identified from the Approver's account) from the matching Approver Group.
- If no preferred Approver is specified then the first Approver of the matching Approver Group will be assigned the Approval Request.
- Any member of an Approver Group matching the requesting Operator Group can handle Approval Requests.
- The preferred Approver specified by the Operator for an Approval Request will be assigned and notified first.
- If the preferred Approver will not respond to the Approval Request within a configurable period, then the next Approver in the Approver Group will be assigned and notified.
