• bypass approval

    By r e messier 2 decades ago

    I am trying to use the vacation LeavTrkSys226 database to make an executive team calendar for vacations. I dont want them to have to send thier request as an approval. Does anyone know how to make it so that when they create a new entry that they can just submit it and have it bypass approval method?

    • Make Them All Admins

      Hi Ryan,



      Thanks for your interest in Vacation Request!



      There are two things that you can do:

      —————————————————————-

      1-Grant all team members the Admin Role in the ACL. In their Team Leaders docs make them their own Approval Manager and Administrator. They can then approve their own Leave Requests. Everyone listed in the Team Leaders docs will get eMail when a Leave Request is approved so you may need to make each executive their own team to avoid being an eMail nuisance.



      2-Modify the HideWhen formula for the button so that it will be visible for New Documents. Then they can approve it when they first create it. Multiple eMails may be generated …



      You can do 1 without doing 2 if you like, but 2 without 1 will not work.



      Release 2.2.7a is available :-)



      HTH,

      Bob

        I ended up doing 2! thanks much. I am new to design and am wondering what courses, design books you can recommend for the absolute beginner?



        Thanks!
