How is a record matched with a rule if it is resubmitted?
When a record is resubmitted, it is checked to see if it matches the criteria of any of the available rule entries in the following order:
- First, the system will check if the record still matches the criteria of the process from which it was originally rejected.
- If it fails to match the original criteria, then a check will be run across all the rule entries and the record will be locked based on the result.
- If it fails to match any rule entry it will be unlocked from the approval process and moved into the module's list view.
