After you have registered the record, the next step is to configure either self approval flows or approval flows that define how the request gets approved.

An approval request with self approval flows are automatically approved by the system without requiring an approver to approve it. Whereas, approval flows determine the specific person or group of people to approve a request.

You might also configure both self approval flows or approval flows and use them in chained process.  

The following image illustrates the end-to-end process of creating an approval process and approval flows:

The following video (2:19) demonstrates how to create self approval flows.

The video shows an older version of BMC Helix Platform. The previous product name was BMC Helix Innovation Suite. Although there might be minor changes in the UI, the overall functionality remains the same.
