eLAS Approvers are responsible for approving/rejecting employee time-off requests. The steps below require eLAS Organization Administrator rights.
Creating an eLAS Approver
eLAS Approvers are created in Workflow Approver Maintenance (WAM) and assigned within eLAS.
In WAM
Set up the employee as an eLAS approver for the desired org in WAM. The employee will be available as an approver in eLAS after WAM has completed overnight processing. This step must be completed by the WAM primary or secondary workflow officer.
In eLAS
Each org has a Default Group that is created by the system and cannot be removed or changed. New approvers are automatically added to this group. Approvers can be assigned to one or more groups in eLAS by the eLAS Org Admin(s).
Editing an eLAS Approver
Moving an Approver from the Default Group
In eLAS:
- Under the Group Appr/Agent Setup tab, Select an Organization using the drop-down list.
- Click on the Edit icon next to the approver record to be moved.
a. Group Name – use the drop-down list to change the Group Name.
b. End Date – If the assignment as an approver is indefinite, leave the End Date blank. - Click Save.
Adding an Approver to Multiple Groups
In eLAS:
- Under the Group Appr/Agent Setup tab, Select an Organization using the drop-down list.
- In the Group Approver Setup section, click on the Create Approver Record button.
- Use the drop-down menu to select the Group Name.
- Select the approver from the Name drop-down list.
- If the assignment as an approver is indefinite, leave the End Date blank.
- Click Save.
- Repeat the steps above to add the approver to another group.
Removing an Approver from a Group
In eLAS:
- Under the Group Appr/Agent Setup tab, Select an Organization using the drop-down list.
- Click on the Edit icon next to the individual to be removed.
a. Group Name – if the approver has more than one group, select the Group Name. - b. End Date – To remove access effective immediately, enter yesterday’s date. Access will no longer exist upon the next log-in to eLAS. A future date can be entered to allow an approver to retain access until a specified date.
- To Remove from ALL groups - Delete the approver from WAM to remove access to ALL groups. Users not removed from WAM will reappear as Default Group approvers.
