Select to create an alternate for the approver.

If selected, and no date range is entered in the From Date and To Date fields, the alternate approver becomes the approver.

If selected, and no date range is entered in the From Date and To Date fields, all pending requests are updated with the alternate approver for the selected original approver.

If selected, and a date range is entered in the From Date and To Date fields, all pending requests are updated with the alternate approver for the selected original approver if today’s date falls on or between the from and to dates.

If selected, and a date range is entered in the From Date and To Date fields, and today’s date is outside the range of the from and to dates, no updates occur for the selected original approver.

If not selected, and/or a date range is entered in the From Date and To Date fields, no updates occur for the selected original approver.

If selected, and then cleared, the alternate approver for all pending requests reverts to the original approver and an email message is sent to the original approver. This includes updating the workflow datetimestamp to today’s date to reset the reminder days for the original approver.
