Optionally create approval chains that control the sequence in which two or more approval rules (steps) are run.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sn_adv_appr_mgmt.approval_rule_admin, sn_adv_appr_mgmt.approval_rule_writer

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Use chains to control the execution order of steps that are run based on the approval rule order.

* Within a chain, steps run sequentially.
* Across chains, chains can run sequentially or in parallel, based on the chain order value. Chains with the same order value run in parallel.
* If you don't define chains, approval rules run in parallel.
