Learn how managers can handle absence approval requests using the notification system in absentify.
As a manager in absentify, you are responsible for overseeing approval requests for absences within your department. The notification bell in the top-right corner of the navigation bar informs you of requests where you are the designated approver, but you can also view requests that other approvers in your department have not yet addressed.
If there are pending approval requests where you are the designated approver, the bell icon in the top-right corner of the screen will display:
A red dot, indicating there are requests requiring your action.
A number, showing how many requests you need to review.
These notifications are exclusive to requests assigned directly to you.However, even if the bell icon does not display a red dot, you can still click on it to access a list of all open requests in your department, including those assigned to other approvers.
As a manager, you have the ability to override pending requests assigned to other approvers in your department. This ensures that absences are handled promptly, even if the designated approver has not taken action.To override a request:
Click on the bell icon to view the list of open requests.
Locate the request assigned to another approver.
Review the request details.
Approve or decline the request. If declining, provide a reason in the prompt before confirming.
Note: Overriding requests ensures that absences in your department are addressed on time, even if the designated approver has not acted.
