Buyer: How to use Contract Approval Levels



Agencies may choose to allow contract approvals based on the campaign budget. Approval levels can be set up by a maximum budget at which a user can approve a contract. When a contract is submitted for approval, the approval levels determine who will receive an email about the submission. The levels also control which users will see the "Approve Contract" button on applicable contracts. Agencies may enter as many approval levels as needed to support their business. Approval levels may also be removed.

You are able to approve a contract if:

• You are not the person who submitted the contract
• If Sales Offices are set up - you are in the Sales Office listed on the Contract
• You are in a high enough approval level per the budget
• You are in a higher approval level than the person who submitted the contract



When an agency is using contract approval levels, the Budget field must be filled out when creating the campaign.



Begin by clicking "Settings" then "Contract Approval".







For each level, a maximum campaign budget must be entered. The title of the related level is an optional field. Users who are authorized to approve contracts up to the budget should be moved to the selected box. Keep creating levels as needed for the different budget thresholds. When an agency is using contract approval levels, the Budget field must be filled out when creating the campaign.
