Configure Alternate Approver
You can designate an alternate approver for when you are out of the office. You can also do this in special circumstances, such as when you have a heavy workload or an unexpected absence.
Navigate to your user menu, then select My Account.
Within the Profile tab, scroll to the Alternate Approvers section. Then click Edit.
Select your Alternate Approvers (up to three).
Click Save.
NOTE: Any notes that are added ad hoc to the primary approval request message will not be visible to alternate approvers. This is because alternate approvers receive a separate template, and any ad hoc changes made to the primary message are replaced by the default template for alternate approvers.
