Approval delegation

Handing your approvals to a colleague while you are away.

Approval delegation lets an approver pass their approvals to a colleague for a set time, so requests do not stall during leave or travel. In Vintage People you delegate from the Approvals inbox for a date range and, if you want, only for certain request types, and you can revoke it at any time. A delegate can decide any step you could, but never their own request and never a non-delegable step.
