Item	Description
Route type	Select the approval style for the route step. Approval (all approvers): Multiple approvers can be set. If all processors have been approved by the request, proceed to the next route step. If one of the processors you have set returns a request, the request will be returned. The same is true in the case of rejecting the request. Approval (any one approver): Multiple approvers can be set. If one of the processors you have set approves the request, proceed to the next route step.
Route Step Name	Enter the route step name.
Step code	An item code is a unique code to identify items for JavaScript customization. If you do not use the JavaScript customization, you do not need to set the route step code. You can use single-byte alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and _ (underscores). When a step code is duplicated in one request form, an error occurs. Up to 100 characters can be entered in a code. If 101 or more characters are entered, the first 100 characters are registered.
Allow Route change	To allow a processor to reroute, select the "Allow" checkbox. If a route change is allowed, the processor can be changed by other processors in the same route step and in the subsequent route step, when processors are processed in this route step.
