Taking time off around the holidays? Set up a substitute for your approval tasks
If you are an approver for one of the tasks below, make sure you appoint a substitute in time when you plan to take time off over the holiday period:
- Declarations
- Invoices
- Individual Choice model
- Modifications (Service Portal)
- New registrations (Service Portal)
- Time recording
- Leave of absence
- Orders*
You can appoint a substitute via the 'My substitutions’ tile in the Service Portal. You can read how to do this in the Service Portal Knowledge Item: Setting up a substitute.
* To set up a substitute for orders, see the manual Procurement Area: User manual for budget holders (Approval and substitution).
NB
- Make sure your to-do list/work list is empty before setting up a substitute.
- You can only set up a substitute for yourself.
- P-check and F-check roles cannot be substituted. There are several P-checks and F-checks per faculty. They must arrange substitutions among themselves.
- The substitution only applies to completely new applications and to applications that are submitted to you for approval again.
- If you have set up a substitute you still have the option to approve tasks yourself. You will also receive notifications (emails) about approving new tasks. If your substitute assesses a task, this task will disappear from your inbox and vice versa.
- You cannot pile substitution upon substitution. If the person you are a substitute for is also someone else's substitute, you will not see those tasks. You only see the tasks of the person you substitute.
