Workflow

Field or Control	Description
Allow Request By	Indicates that the Manager or the Employee and Manager can enter the take.
Request As	Determines whether the request is entered as an Employee or as a Manager. When the manager requests absences for an employee they can request the time as the employee or the manager. If the manager selects to request the time as the Employee the request will be automatically approved, if there are no other approvers in the approval path. The manager will receive an approval confirmation page when clicking Submit. If the manager selects to request the time as the Manager the request will be sent to the manager’s next level of approval, and therefore the manager will receive a regular Submit confirmation page after clicking Submit. The Request As available options will be editable if the Country Take setup field Override Request As on the Absences page is selected. Otherwise this field will be grayed out and defaulted from the setup.
