A Panel can be as simple or as complex as is required. It can contain one or more thresholds, and each threshold can contain one or more sequences of approvers. For more information about Panels, click here.
There are three steps to implement a panel:
- Assign an Authorisation Group to approvers
- Create the Panel - see below
- Assign the Panel to one or more payment or direct debit products in the Authorisation Matrix
To create a new panel, follow the steps below:
