After you update information for a group of assignments or you add an assignment or an administrative assignment to a select group of resources, you can submit them for approval. If you have approval authority over some of the selected resources, then you can approve the transaction immediately for those resources, either individually or all at once. When you select the check box to submit the assignments, all the assignments are approved right away.

Update requests for all other resources will be forwarded to the appropriate person for approval. The primary contact is by default the first approver and the resource manager is by default the second approver. You can change these approvers as necessary. If a particular transaction does not require approval, then a notification is sent to the approvers for each resource describing the update.
