This article describes how to add an Alternate Approver to a prior approval form. If an approver is not available to process prior approval forms (on vacation,etc.), you may select an alternate approver. When an alternate approver is selected, the form will route to the selected alternate approver, rather than the approver (Chair, Dean, etc.) for the department/unit.
To add an alternate approver:
- Go to the Action section of the form (bottom of the form) and click on the Add Alternate Approver button.
- Select an alternate approver from the drop-down menu and then click the Add button.
- The alternate approver is added to the form. You can remove them by clicking on the Remove button.
No Alternate Approver available in the system?
Alternate approvers must be assigned in UC OATS by your campus OATS administrator. Visit your campus OATS site (links to the right of this article) for your OATS administrator's contact information.
