Documentation

Definition

Specifies whether and how the next agent of a leave request or clock-in/out correction is to be determined.

Use

You have the following options for determining the next agent:

• Last Agent: The system reads from the database the last agent to have had requests or corrections from this employee.

  Note

  The system writes the last agent of a request to the HRESSAPPROVER table, regardless of whether the last agent was entered manually or determined automatically. If you use this function, you can reduce the system response times. In this case, the last agent must exist in the table.

• Line Manager: The system uses the organizational model to determine the agent.
• Last Agent, Then Line Manager: If no agent is entered in the database, the system then uses the organizational model to determine the agent.
• No Calculation/Manual Entry: The system does not determine a next agent. Employees can enter an agent manually.

If you display the Agent field in the Web application, the agent determined by the system is displayed as a default value.
