Approval Routing

The Approval Routing Tab is where you will define the order in which your Approvals will take place.

  1. Approval Routing Tab

    1. Primary/Secondary/Specific Employee
      Primary Supervisor, then the Secondary Supervisor, then a Specific Employee.

    2. Detail Manager Hierarchy
      Primary Supervisor, Secondary, Supervisor(s), and then the Standard Hierarchy.

    3. Standard Hierarchy
      Follows the basic Employee Hierarchy in your company.
      Note: When you choose the Hierarchy Levels keep this in mind.

      1. This uses the Primary Manager Hierarchy.

        1 = Appraisal Manager

        2 = Appraisal Manager and their Direct Manager

        3 = Appraisal Manager, Appraisal Manager's Direct Manager, and their Direct Manager (By default this is normally the Employee’s Primary Manager).

        Note: These Hierarchy Levels are drawn from the Organization Hierarchy/Reporting relationships within your Organization. Ultimately, these can go up as many levels ending with HR (which depending on the configuration under General could have Final Approval already designated).

    4. Custom Routing
      Allows you to set up a Custom Routing that follows no obvious pattern. Pick and choose any Reviewers and what order they will Approve the Appraisal.

    5. Standard Hierarchy + Custom Routing
      Standard Primary Supervisor Hierarchy, then a specified Custom Routing.

    6. Customized Hierarchy
      Primary Supervisor Hierarchy with Optional Settings.
