Admin | Allow approvers to transfer or return approval steps and add or remove approvers

2 min read
I. Intro
🔖
Who can perform these steps: Primary administrators and administrators with Approval permissions.
When designing approver steps, administrators can choose whether to allow approvers to transfer or return approval requests and add or remove approvers.
  • Transfer: Transfer the current approval request to another person. When the approver is not in a position to process the request, they can transfer it to someone else.
  • Add approver: Add other approvers to the request. When the approver is unable to make a decision, they can add other approvers for assistance.
  • Remove approver: Remove the newly added approvers from the approval request. If the approver added another approver by mistake, they can remove the new approver they've added.
  • Return: Return the process to a previous step for re-approval. When the approver finds something wrong in the previous step, they can return the process to that step.

III. FAQs
Why can't the approver add another approver?
If the request is transferred to the current approver by someone else, or if the current approver is an approver added by another approver, the current approver can't add other approvers.
Why can't leave requests be modified and submitted again after being returned?
After a leave request is returned to the submitter, it cannot be edited. If changes are required, the submitter will have to revoke the request and create a new one.
Can the handler return an approval step?
No.
Can the administrator return an approval step?
No. Only the approver can return an approval step.
If an approver was added during the review process, can they add more approvers?
No.
