Export Procedure
On running an Approval Data export, the app will search referenced entities by usernames (for user key data) and by Name (for other entities, e.g. Project Name, custom field Name, etc.).
In order to allow the operation to succeed the app must be able to identify the username for each referenced user key and the Name or other entities, e.g. Project Name, custom field Name, etc.
If the procedure doesn't complete successfully a message appears:
Export Approval Configurations doesn't completed successfully. Run a Dependencies Analyzer in order to review detected errors and fix that.
