Rules
Creating rules and rule use are the main steps in the AME implementation
process
Rule associate one or more conditions with an approval in an if-then
statement
You may need to create (or have a system administrator create) some custom
attributes and/or approvals
You may also need to create some approver groups. Thus, while creating
rules is your ultimate goal, it is also the last thing you do when you set up
