Adding alternate approvers

Sometimes an approver might be unavailable because of a scheduled vacation or business event. For that period of time, the approver should designate an alternate approver because change requests still require approval.

From the People form, you can set up one or more people to approve change requests that are pending your approval, for example, to add the change manager or change coordinator as an alternate approver.
