DESIGNATED APPROVERS #
Approvers may be replaced by a designated approver for a defined time frame or indefinitely for specific approval types known as Designated Approvers in IEMDA. Approvers may also maintain who is designated as an approver in their absence using IEDA.
Approvers may designate a temporary replacement in two capacities. Either a “Replacement” or an “Alternate” may be defined.
- Replacement designates relieve an approver of all approval responsibilities starting as of the “From date” and end on the “To date” starting at 12am on the date specified. If these dates are left blank (null) the beginning of time and end of time are assumed respectively.
- When an alternate is defined all responsibilities are shared by the specified person and the original approver.
Alternate designates will have a copy of the approval records created for them and the original approver will retain all existing approval records. Both the alternate and approver will receive notification of new pending approvals.
The maintenance of the approval records as described above will be limited the specified approval types. If none are listed all approval records will be subject to this maintenance.
