How do you set an Approval Rule to require approval from 2 of 3 approvers?

The appropriate approach to set an Approval Rule that necessitates approval from 2 out of 3 approvers is to use the logic expressed in option B, which is "(1 AND 2) OR (2 AND 3)." This configuration effectively captures the requirement by allowing any combination of two approvers from the three available options to provide their approval for a task or request.

For instance, if approvers 1 and 2 both approve, the requirement is met. Similarly, if approvers 2 and 3 approve, that also satisfies the approval criteria. This logical structure ensures that at least two distinct approvers need to agree, fostering a collaborative decision-making process.

In contrast, the other options do not achieve the goal of requiring two out of the three approvers. "1 AND 3" only needs approval from approvers 1 and 3, entirely excluding approver 2. The option stating "1 OR 2 OR 3" would allow for a single approver to grant permission without the need for consensus among others, which contradicts the requirement for two approvals. Lastly, "1 AND 2 AND 3" mandates that all three approvers must agree, which exceeds the stipulated condition. Thus, option
