The following features are new to Intelligent Workflow Approvals in this release.
Support for Grouping Multiple Documents Across Multiple Agreement Records
With this feature, you can choose attachments for child object records (Out-Of-The-Box or a custom object) when sending for approval. For example: Consider a custom object as a parent object and Agreement as the child object. When you submit for approval, the attachments from the child object (in this example, Agreement) is also included for approval. This feature is based on the new custom settingIncludeChildObjAttachmentsForSubmit__cintroduced in ApprovalsCustomConfig custom setting.
