Info
  • Some tickets can have multiple approvers, but the approval of only one approver can be sufficient for processing them. If one of the approvers has approved the ticket, the approval request moves out of your Outstanding Items list. If the request is withdrawn, an approval request can move out of your Outstanding Items list before you approve it.
Info
  • If you are out of office, you can still approve or reject. The ticket must be visible in your Outstanding Items list to approve or reject it. If the request is not visible in your list, it means that the delegate has already responded to the request. If your delegate submits a response, you can revoke it. You can, communicate your decision to revoke the response to the service desk, for action on their part.
  • Submit your approval twice, if you are:
    An approver for a ticket
    A Delegate for another approver of the same ticket

    First you submit the approval for yourself, and then for the person who has assigned you as a delegate.
  • Every ticket is treated according to a predefined workflow and routed to the appropriate support groups. You cannot send a ticket for approval to your supervisor before submitting it to the support group. Your administrator can create a workflow to route tickets to your supervisor for approval, before routing to a support group. This routing is not visible to you from the Self-Service user interface.
