MDM workflow - dynamic approver determination

Question

Hallo,
in MDM workflow, i see that in the visio workflow definition of the approval step, it is possible to set approvers. This sound to me like a static approval definition.
Let say that according to some field value I want to determine different approvers, meaning if Product category is 1 approver is X, if Product category is 2 approver is Y, etc..
Is this possible to achieve?
How?
thank you in advance,
Regards,
Marco

Marco,
I am assuming you have 3 approvers X, Y and Z. Create 3 validations for all 3 cases:
Validation A: Category =1  => goes to approver X
Validation B: Category =2  => goes to approver Y
Validation C: Category =3  => goes to approver Z
Start -> Branch (Add validation A) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver X and for false it is either Y or Z)
            -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign X)
            -> (FALSE) -> Branch (Add Validation B) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver Y and for false it is Z)
            -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign Y)
            -> (FALSE) -> Approver (Assign Z if this the default approver else add one more iteration)
I hope this should work.
