In order to use internal approval, the function will need to be enabled from both admin and project settings.
Enabling from Admin Settings
Before internal approval can be used on a project, the option will need to be enabled from your admin settings.
To enable internal approval, navigate to System Menu > Admin > General > Project Options. From the "Defaults" section, check the box that reads "Enable internal approval statuses." Once checked, click save (bottom right).
Enabling on Project
Once internal approval has been enabled from the admin level, the function can be used on projects. To enable internal approval on any given project, navigate to Project Menu > Set Up > Project Template > Project Settings. Scroll down to the "Enable Internal Approval Statuses" option and choose "Yes" from the drop-down. Once selected, the change will be auto-saved.
