Temporary Workflow Approval Assignment
How do Assign a Temporary Workflow Approver?
Overview
Compass allows another employee to temporarily approve Compass transactions on your
behalf. Alternate Users (Approvers) receive all Compass finance approval routings for the
timeframe you determine.
• The alternate approver must be an existing Compass approver who is not an originator of transactions
which you normally approve.
• They must also be at your approval authority level or above, for Emory policy compliance requirements.
• Only one Alternate User can be designated at a time.
• Existing Worklist items are not transferred to the temporary alternate approver.
• This feature only impacts Compass and not Emory Express or other systems which may integrate with
Compass.
