Approval Chain
In Skovik, it is possible to set up an approval chain consisting of one or multiple levels of approval. These steps are either a superior step, group step or custom field step.
Superior step
Group step
Custom field step
A superior step means the employee's line manager approves the report. The manager is responsible for the approval, and only the manager can approve the report (unless the report is delegated elsewhere).
A group step means that a group of people (i.e., the payroll department) is responsible for approving the report. The report will end up in all group members' review queues, but only one member will need to approve it.
A custom field step means that the approval chain will change dynamically depending on the custom field owner. The report will be sent to the responsible manager of i.e. a cost center or project.
This type of step is used when implementing project based or cost center based approval.
