To check the approvers for your Project Commencements:
Log in to FocalPoint Administrator.
Click **System Options**, **Project Management**, **Job Commencement**.
On the Approval tab, check the Approval Type is set to N Level or this article will not apply. This will display the stages of approval for your Project Commencements.
Select the stage you wish to view.
Click Edit.
There are four tabs described below:
**Approval Stage:** The core approval. This decides who approves the transaction, what happens when it is approved, and what happens if it is rejected. This tab also contains additional options depending on the approval type you have set.
**Alerts:** This contains any alerts sent out during the approval process. Alerts are emails sent by FocalPoint (for example, alerting the approver that they have something to approve).
**Pre-Stage Rules:** These check something specific within the transaction and act on that information. For example, a rule could check a specific field and re-route the transaction based on whether that information is true or false. For a pre-stage rule, this check happens before the approver sees the transaction.
Post-Stage Rules: These work the same way as pre-stage rules, however, for post stage rules, the rule is checked after the approver has approved.
This information should help you establish how FocalPoint is routing your Project Commencements for approval.
If changes are needed, discuss them with your team and the FocalPoint Administrator.
