Use the Copy Group button at the top of the Approval Groups grid to copy one or more approval groups created for one request type, along with their assigned locations, jobs, and approval groups (if applicable), to other request types. You can copy both active and inactive approval groups.
You may find the Copy Group function useful if your organization uses the same approval groups to approve all request types. In this instance, you can create the approval groups for one request type, and then copy those approval groups to the other request types.
You can modify the copied approval groups. Refer to the Modifying an Approval Group topic for more information.
