•Automatically assigned by the system following specific criterias
•Manually assigned by the user
•No assignment – Request automatically approved after clicking submit for approval.

All assignment criterias per GBU and specific cases are in appendix

Once assigned, the approver can do 4 actions:

 

•Reassign the request – Click on reassign link
•Approve the request – Click on Approve/Reject link
