Approval Task Prefix	The prefix for the approval history subject.
Backup Admin Profile	Specify the profile name of the backup administrator who can control the settings and approval profile.
Backup Admin User	Specify the full name or email address of the user who will serve as a backup administrator. This is mandatory in the event you deactivate a user from the org. If there is no backup admin user available, the system displays an error. This is also true where the email address being used is active but not the same address for a user in this org.
Backup Filter Page	The custom page to filter and select a backup user.
Bypass Sharing	Indicates whether Apex code can bypass record sharing.
Enable Email Approval Response	Enables the approvers to approve or reject an approval request through e-mail. The approver can write APPROVE or REJECT in the first line of the email. The approval comments can be added from the second line onwards.
UI Assignee Search Page Size	Specify the number of rows the search result shows when you search for user roles, rules, queues, or users. The default is 20 rows.
UI Custom Assignee Object Types	Specify the API names of the standard or custom objects, separated with comma, you want to use when defining custom assignee expressions.
Enable Approval Request Auto Escalation	Selecting this checkbox enables the system to escalate approval requests to users or queues if an approval action is pending for a specific period of time. The users to whom the request is escalated to and the period after which a request is escalated is specified in the approval process.
Email Sender Display Name	Indicates the data source for the email sender display name. If not specified, defaults to the name of the requester for agreements and defaults to the name of the submitter for all other cases. The valid values are: Approver Requester Submitter For more information, see Email Sender Name and Email Address.
Enable Auto-Reapproval on Finalized Cart	Setting this flag to true allows previous approvals from the finalized cart to be included in the check for auto-reapproval. Otherwise, re-approvals start from scratch on the new cart object.
Cart Approval Context Type	Specify the context for which an approval process is applicable. The applicable values are: Cart: Triggers an approval process for the entire cart. Header: Triggers an approval process for the cart's header items only. LineItem: Triggers an approval process for the cart's line items.

Email Approval Service Address	The email service address that can receive messages for processing.
Enable Approval Check on Quote Update	This flag enables the system to evaluate the approval process. An approval-required check is run whenever the quote is updated. If the entry criteria are satisfied, the system changes the status to Approval Required. This setting is run for CPQ Approvals by default.
Enable Resubmit	Enables you to define the behavior of the Submit for Approvals button in the Approvals related list of your object. This system property replaces the CancelPendingProcess parameter on the Preview and Submit formula button on your object. When selected, and user clicks Submit for Approvals, current approval requests are canceled and new approval requests are resubmitted. When deselected, and the user clicks Submit for Approvals, the user cannot cancel and resubmit and ongoing approval request.

If the number of approval records cross this threshold, an asynchronous job is submitted in the background to submit the approvals. The default value is 100.
