Add Approver

General Information

The Add Approver button allows you to add a person or role (i.e., Dept Reviewer) to the Approval Graph. This function may be used when an extra person or role needs to approve, or a person or role needs to re-approve.

Note: If a division, department or dean's reviewer needs to re-approve an application, add the appropriate ROLE (not person) to the graph. Since this will display the unit name and the name of the person who approved, a more complete audit trail is maintained.
