Policy Order

All approval policies contain a Policy Order field in which a positive integer value, ordered from lowest to highest, specifies priority. The priority for each policy determines the following:

• The order in which approval rules are evaluated
• For rules that are true, the order in which workflow processes are started

A policy with a lower integer value has a higher priority, and its rule is evaluated before a policy with a higher integer value. For all policies for an event or admin task that are true, the policy with the highest priority starts its workflow process first.
