Approval Path

The Approval Path lets you decide how managers will have to approve time-off requests. By default, any managers of this user approving will actually approve the request. You can pick from 3 different methods of approval, which are as follow:

Any manager

Anyone of the available managers for this user can approve requests. The request just needs one approval.

X out of Y managers

A certain number of managers (X) out of all possible managers (Y) for this user must approve the request in order for it to be fully approved.

Specific sequence

Managers must approve the request in a specific order before it's fully approved.
The order in which the managers will appear in the Sequenced Managers section will be the order in which the requests will need to be approved.
Drag and Drop managers from the Available Managers into the Sequenced Managers.

Management

You can specify which managers this Employee/Manager will be managed by or who this Manager will be managing. When managing certain users, Managers will receive email notifications whenever these users request new time-off. Managers will also be able to approve/reject/cancel requests sent by these users.

To Add or Modify Employee/Manager select Edit.
