Icon Action Description
Edit To edit the approval chain’s details, click this icon.
Deactivate If the competency is active, this icon appears. To deactivate the competency, which removes it from being used by end users, click this icon.
Reorder To reorder the sequence of approvers, click this icon. On the next screen, you can change the order by clicking the person's name and dragging it to the desired position.

When the order of an approval chain is revised, any recruiting workflows or performance workflows are updated as well. However, if the approval process of an approval chain is already in motion in the application, the approval request follows the original order of the approvers, not the revised order.

Reordering the sequence of approvers is only applicable to Serial approval chain types.
Delete To delete an approval chain, click this icon. A chain can be deleted at any time. If an approval chain that was previously associated with a recruiting workflow or a performance workflow is deleted, that association is removed. The workflows need to be updated with a new approval chain selection.
