Selecting an Alternate Reviewer

When a reviewer is out of the office during the approval process, you can select an alternate reviewer to handle review responsibilities while the user is away. Use the Out of Office Assistant to return the review responsibilities to users when they return.

To select an alternate reviewer:

1. On the Home page, click Tools, and then User Preferences.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Under Approvals, select I am currently out of the office.

4. Set what action to take when you're out:
   • Promote: Promote the approval unit.
   • Reject: Reject the approval unit.
   • Submit: Submit the approval unit.
   • Delegate: Select to designate an alternate reviewer to handle your review responsibilities while you're away. You can delegate to the next reviewer or to a specific user. You can also include a message for the reviewer in the Message text box.

5. Click Save.
