Configuring control points

You can configure the control points to make them available for monitoring in the approval workflow. The configuration of the control points associates the control points with the data owner, the alternative approver, the tags, and the review cycle.

Note:

You can associate the review cycle setting to the control point only if the date of entitlements import before the approval start is yet to arrive.

Make sure that you have at least one review cycle setting created before you configure a control point.
