Assigning Reasons to Approver Signatures

You can choose to provide a reason for Approver authentication. Whenever an Approver signature is provided, a default reason can be automatically attached to the signature.

NOTE: You must have Administrator access in the Administrator security group to edit site parameters.

The following site parameters must be configured to automatically provide a reason for an Approver signature.

• ApproverDefaultReasonId: Use this display option to specify a default approver-level reason. Before you can specify a default reason, you must first specify a default reason tree in the ApproverReasonTreeId display option. For information about reason trees, see Reason Trees.

• ApproverReasonTreeId: Use this display option to specify a default approver-level reason tree. You must first select a reason tree before you can specify a reason for the ApproverDefaultReasonId display option. For information about reason trees, see Reason Trees.

NOTE: In versions prior to 4.3, ApproverDefaultReasonId, ApproverReasonTreeId, UserDefaultReasonId, and UserReasonTreeId were display options, rather than site parameters. To support earlier versions (pre-4.3), they are still listed as site parameters. However, for 4.3 versions and later, setting them as display options will have no effect on the display. They must be configured as site parameters.
