# Multiple approvals

**Settings → Configuration → Multiple Approvals** is where a condition is defined that sends a leave request through extra approvers. This page tours the list and the form for a new condition.

## Open it

1. Select **Settings** in the sidebar.
2. Select the **Configuration** tab in the row of tabs under the page title (the row runs from **General** to **Mitra**).
3. **Multiple Approvals** opens as the only sub-tab.

## The conditions list

The page shows a count beside the title and a table with the columns **Department**, **Condition**, **Approval Chain**, **Company** and **Actions**. When nothing has been set up, the count reads 0 and the table says **No multiple approval conditions yet**. A **+ Create** button sits at the top right.

## The Create form

**+ Create** opens **Create Multiple Approval Condition**. The line at the top of the form reads: "Routes a leave request through extra approvers when it meets the condition you set here. Leave Requested Days is the only condition available at present."

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| **Department** (required) | Starts on **Select Department**. |
| **Condition Field** (required) | Starts on **Select Condition field**; the only choice is **Leave Requested Days**. |
| **Condition Operator** (required) | Starts on **Equal (==)**. The choices are Equal, Not Equal, Range, Less Than, Greater Than, Less Than or Equal To, Greater Than or Equal To and Contains. |
| **Condition Value** | Used unless the operator is **Range**. |
| **Range Start Value** and **Range End Value** | The two boxes for a range. |
| **Company** (required) | Starts on **Select Company**. |
| **Approval Manager** (required) | A list that starts on **Reporting Manager**, followed by employees. |

The **Create** button at the bottom of the form saves the condition.

## Not confirmed

- No condition was saved while writing this page, so how a saved condition looks in the list, what **Actions** offers, and how a condition changes the way a leave request is approved were not tried. For what an approver sees, see [Approving and rejecting leave](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/leave/page/approving-and-rejecting-leave).
- Whether more than one approval manager can be chosen when a condition is first created was not confirmed; the form shows a single **Approval Manager** field.
- Access for roles other than HR Head was not checked.
