# Set up workflow template step - Approval

For each data entry workflow template, you can define workflow approval steps. Use an approval step to approve the data as entered during the workflow execution.

The setup of the fields to be approved has these elements:

| Element | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Tab pages | Each approval step must have at least one tab page. Use tab pages to define the sections that are shown on the workflow task dialog. Usually, you add tab pages when you select field groups with the 'Select field groups' function. |
| Field groups | For each tab page, use field groups to define how the approval fields are grouped on the workflow task dialog. Usually, you add field groups when you select field groups with the 'Select field groups' function. |
| Fields | For each field group, define the fields to be approved. Usually, you select the fields to be approved with the 'Select field groups' function. |
