# Test group approval workflow

Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance allows configuring a test group approval workflow, which must be completed before [approving and activating the test group](/life-sciences/docs/test-group-approval-and-activation). Workflow requirements are activated in **Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Setup > Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance parameters > Quality management** tab:

- If the **Test group approval** parameter is enabled, the completion of the workflow is required to proceed with test group approval.
- If the **Test group approval** parameter is disabled, the test group can be approved without executing the workflow.

The test group approval workflow template can be configured in **Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Setup > Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance workflows** and supports:

- Conditions (for example, different steps can be applied depending on the item type).
- Review activities, such as peer review (multiple review steps can be configured).
- Approval tasks.

STAEDEAN Life Sciences workflow templates leverages D365 F&SCM workflow engines and standards. Please refer to the D365 F&SCM training material for information regarding the configuration of a workflow instance.

If the approval workflow is in place, test groups can be submitted for approval using the **Submit** button (**Workflow > Submit**) in the **Test group** form. The workflow engine will then update the status to **Submitted** and propose the next task.

The workflow history can be viewed by clicking **Actions > View history**.

When the workflow is completed, the state is set to **Completed**. From this moment on, authorized users can [approve](/life-sciences/docs/test-group-approval-and-activation) the test group using the **Approve** button.
