How to copy rules from one user to another

Organisation Administrators can copy rules between users in the following matrices:

  • Requester matrix – for copying rules between Requesters

  • Approval matrix – for copying rules between Approvers

  • Review and Coding matrix – for copying rules between Reviewers

  • Editing matrix – for copying field editing permissions between Approvers/Editors

The process is the same across all matrices and for all accounting platforms. Rules can be copied within the same step, or between different steps in the same workflow.
​​

This is how you copy rules from one user to another​​

  • In the main menu, go to your Organisation and open Approval workflows under Workflows and settings:

  • Open the approval workflow in which you want to copy rules.

  • Select the relevant workflow step and click on the Matrix icon (e.g. Requester matrix, approval matrix, Editing Matrix or Review and Coding matrix):

  • In the matrix, click on the Three-dot icon next to the user whose rules you want to copy and select "Copy rule to user":

  • In the pop-up, select the rule columns you want to copy and click on Next:

  • Select the users and steps where the rules should be copied:

  • To add a new user to the matrix, click first on Add an Approver, then enter their email address on click on Add a new user:

Please note: If you add a user but do not tick the checkbox next to this user to copy rules, they will be added to the matrix without any restrictions.

  • When all users are selected, click on Copy to complete the process. The rules specified by the previously selected user will now be replicated to all selected users.

  • Click on DONE to save your changes, then update the workflow:

Please note: Copied rules will overwrite the existing rules in the Requester/Approver/Editor/Reviewer matrix.

Please note: Auto-Approval rules cannot be copied.
