Deltek Workforce enables employees to assign their tasks to another individual or individuals when they are unable to perform those tasks themselves. They can narrow down the list of who does which task by Employee Group and then by individual person. For example, if a supervisor is going on vacation for a week, he can delegate his timesheet approvals to one person and his expense report and expense authorization approvals to another.
If you are authorized to do so, use the Delegation area to select individuals who can perform tasks on your behalf.
