Pega provides the ability to include single and cascading approvals when designing case types.

Cascading Approval:
  • A cascading approval process configures a series of approvals.
  • There are two cascading approval models.
    • reporting structure : Used when approvals always move up the reporting structure of the submitter or another defined list.
    • authority matrix : Used when a set of rules directs the approval chain to individuals both inside and outside the organization of the submitter.
Authority Matrix:
  • An Authority matrix uses a decision table.
  • Each satisfied row or condition adds the results to a list of approvers.
  • Approval assignments route to approvers in the order of list appearance.
Configuring Cascading Approval:
  • The authority matrix model determines the approvers using a list of operators stored in a Page List, and a single value property that identifies the approver.
  • Use decision table to define conditions for populating the list.
