A new organization setting allows administrators to control the number of approvers required before a procedure can be submitted for approval. This value can be set to require 0-20 approvers with 0 being the default.
If one or more approvers are required, the PUBLISH tab of the procedure will be updated to reflect the number of required approvers, and the ability to start the approval process will be blocked until the required number of approvers have been added. If the value is set to 0, standard publishing and approval rules apply, and no minimum number of approvers will be enforced.
