Agent Type 81 - Force Start Approval Flow to Status For Approval If Approval Flow is Enabled

Use Agent Type 81 - Force Start Approval Flow to Status For Approval If Approval Flow is Enabled to automatically send all time entries for approval, provided that there is an active approval flow for time entries, and that the user who performs the time entries (Role 1) is not required to approve them as defined in the approval setup (Settings > Company Approvals > Time Entry Approval). If you use this agent, users are not required to manually send their time entries for approval. If you do not need to send time entries for approval more than once a day, use System Variable 807 (Automatically Set Time Entries to Status-20 - For Approval Once per Day) instead of this agent.

Prerequisites

To use this agent, you must first disable System Variable 807 at Settings > Global System Settings > System Variables.

Parameters

Field Description
Delay Start Approval Flow of Record is Created, Delay in Minutes for Enter the number of minutes that the agent must wait for before sending a new time entry for approval. This gives users a chance to correct mistakes in their time entries before they are sent for approval.
