9. To add approvers to each stage, click on Add Approver. A drop-down menu of users with the approver role will appear for you to select from. To learn how to add users, click here.
10. Once you've added an approver, you can set up a rule. This allows you to modify what an approver can do at each stage. For example, you might want an approver to only handle expenses from the sales department and approve amounts between ₦100–₦100,000. This means expenses from the product department won't appear on that approver's board, and expenses above ₦100,000 won't be sent to that approver. After setting up the rule, click on the Save rule. Reference the picture shown below:
