Approval step — route id

route id (ApprovalStep.routeId) is a field stored on each approval step record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the approval step record's data. The routeId field belongs to the approval step it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set routeId while working with that ApprovalStep record. Because routeId is part of the ApprovalStep record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the approval step.
