Add Review Alert Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to have a notification alert sent when an approver of a step makes a change to the item to be approved.

This applies if the approval step has been set up to allow editing as well as approving (you selected In Review in the Workflow State field in the Approval Steps grid).

After you complete the information on this dialog box and add the review alert to the approval step, click the Email and/or Dashboard hyperlinks in the Edit Content field in the Step Actions grid to select the employees to send the alert to and create the specific message to be sent in the alert.
