Working out how the system determines who you can delegate a transaction type to in the Out of Office module

Updated over a month ago

The delegates list is populated with all enabled users who have access to approval in that area of the system and in the case of Expenses and Timesheets, are also specified as being an approver for the module.
​
To check whether a user has access to approval in an area of the system:

  1. Log into FocalPoint Administrator

  2. Browse to System Control, Security Profiles

  3. Highlight the profile that the user is in and click Edit

  4. Click on the Security tab

  5. Highlight "Authorisation"

  6. Ensure that the relevant modules are enabled (have a green tick beside them). You can enable/disable an option by double clicking on the icon

  7. Click OK to save the changes

To check that a user is specified as a Timesheet or Expense Approver:

  1. Log into FocalPoint Administrator

  2. Browse to System Control, Security Profiles

  3. Highlight the profile that the user is in and click Members

  4. Highlight the user in the list on the left

  5. Click on the Time tab and ensure that the user has a tick in the "Timesheet Approver" box as needed

  6. Click on the Expense tab and ensure that the user has a tick in the "Expenses Approver" box as needed

  7. Click OK to save the changes

If a user is still not showing up after checking all of the above, please ensure they are enabled under System Control, Users.
​
It is also worth noting that the names shown in the Delegate list are the users' Resource Names. Therefore please ensure you know what a user's Resource name is, as they do sometime differ.
