Approval chains and delegation

Without a chain, a request goes to the person's manager (or HR). A chain sets the steps for a kind of request — leave, attendance corrections, overtime, shift swaps, asset requests, requisitions and more — and whether a step needs all of its approvers or any one. Nobody ever approves their own request.

1. Open Delegate my approvals and pick a colleague and dates.
2. While it is active, requests addressed to you also reach them, marked as delegated.

When applying for leave you can also name who approves for you while you are away; that delegation starts when the leave is approved and ends if it is cancelled.
