Pete receives a warning message that in order to move the state of this work item, an appropriate user must first formally approve it. This is an example of various rule types that may be incorporated into RTC workflows. For this example, we will use an informal, ad-hoc approval. In a real world situation, you may choose to enforce approvals with identity re-validation of user id and password.

4. Click on Approval -> Approval.

5. Click on Add Approvers and the Add Pete from the Select Users pop up. Close the Select Users pop up.

6. Change the value of Pete’s approval from Pending -> Approved, and then click Save. Note that the state of the work item is now Approved.
