   3. Click on value link after "Is Approved?"  from pop up window set approval status field from field from source drop down and set condition equals to approved. If approval status is equal to approved then you have to inform user that his request has been approved by department head. for that set following values as shown in fig. below. and for update item , select current item, add Authorized field and set its values to Yes.
      
      
   4. Repeat above step for remaining else parts with appropriate messages.
