Since the Approval Flow Type is Sequential, the first Approval Step where Step Conditions are met is added in the ‘Pending’ status. All subsequent steps are added in the ‘Pending; Contingent’ status.
The Manager and VP users are not able to approve until the previous steps have been approved. Once the Supervisor approves his step, the Manager approval step will be updated to ‘Pending’, and an email will send to the Manager if an E-mail Template is supplied on the Approval Step setup record.
