The following sample describes how to define approval schema for change actions.

/* Define constants */
/* Input elements */
let promotedChangeAction("Change Action")
let impactedObjectsList(List)
let approvalSchema(ChangeApprovalSchema)

/* Elements to be used to create the approval schema */
let approvalSchemaLevel(ChangeApprovalSchemaLevel)

/* Elements to be used to process the logic */
let impactedObjectsListSize(Integer)
let impactedObjectsListIterator(Integer)
let impactedVPMReference(VPMReference)
let impactedPart(Part)

/* Retrieve the elements provided in input */
set promotedChangeAction = Parameters->GetAttributeObject("ChangeAction")
set impactedObjectsList = Parameters->GetAttributeObject("ImpactedObjects")
set approvalSchema = Parameters->GetAttributeObject("ComputedApprovalSchema")

/* Apply the logic based on the inputs */
if(promotedChangeAction.organization == "MyCompany")
{
    set approvalSchemaLevel = approvalSchema.addApprovalSchemaLevel(false)
    set impactedObjectsListSize = impactedObjectsList.Size()
    set impactedObjectsListIterator = 1

    for impactedObjectsListIterator while impactedObjectsListIterator<=impactedObjectsListSize
    {
        set impactedVPMReference = impactedObjectsList->GetItem(impactedObjectsListIterator)
        set impactedPart = impactedObjectsList->GetItem(impactedObjectsListIterator)

        if(impactedVPMReference<>NULL)
        {
            approvalSchemaLevel.addApprovalTask("taskTitle","taskInstructions",false,"User1", false, "Route Start Date", "2")
        }
