Multiple approvals

Settings → Configuration → Multiple Approvals is where a condition is defined that sends a leave request through extra approvers. This page tours the list and the form for a new condition.

Open it

  1. Select Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select the Configuration tab in the row of tabs under the page title (the row runs from General to Mitra).
  3. Multiple Approvals opens as the only sub-tab.

The conditions list

The page shows a count beside the title and a table with the columns Department, Condition, Approval Chain, Company and Actions. When nothing has been set up, the count reads 0 and the table says No multiple approval conditions yet. A + Create button sits at the top right.

Not confirmed

  • No condition was saved while writing this page, so how a saved condition looks in the list, what Actions offers, and how a condition changes the way a leave request is approved were not tried. For what an approver sees, see Approving and rejecting leave.
  • Whether more than one approval manager can be chosen when a condition is first created was not confirmed; the form shows a single Approval Manager field.
  • Access for roles other than HR Head was not checked.
