The promotional path of an approval unit is determined by its hierarchy and the assigned owners. The most direct way to affect this path is to manually modify the owners and reviewers for specific approval units via the user interface; these changes can also be cascaded to descendants. A more dynamic method involves using business rules (data rules) to change member properties, such as attributes, that are used to define ownership. By changing an entity's attribute value, a rule can dynamically alter its assigned owner, thereby changing the promotional path without manual intervention.

B. Task lists guide users through a sequence of actions (like opening forms or running rules) but do not define or alter the approval unit promotional path itself.

C. The Approval Audit feature is a historical log used for tracking and reporting on the approvals process; it cannot be used to modify the future promotional path.

"You can also use an attribute dimension to define the approvals hierarchy... This enables you to dynamically change the approvals hierarchy by changing the attribute assigned to a member." Business rules can change these attributes.
