Escalate or Delegate Tab
Use this tab to enable manual escalation of the approval step to a predefined Escalate to role, or to delegate completion of this step to a specific employee.
This tab is visible only to users who are members of the role assigned to the current activity or step.
Once you escalated or delegated this step, you may no longer see this tab as well as the Approve or Reject tab since the current activity is now assigned to a different role or user. Notifications via email are also sent to users belonging to the newly assigned role.
