Introduction
Using Other Approvers in a workflow.
Article Body
If the college requires additional approvals outside those built into the PSSUB Workflow, or in certain circumstances, where a requirement for the process has not yet been developed (such as the requirement for Dean's approvals when the threshold has met $100K), the "Other Approver" feature may be used to secure these approvals.
Other Approvers, if added, appear after the PI in the workflow on the Approvals tab (or Summary tab under Approvals)
After the PI has approved the PSSUB, the "Other Approvers" will be alerted via email that they have pending approvals with a link to the PSSUB Request Form.
When they visit the form, they will be able to view the Summary tab only, and click "Approve" in the upper-right in order to move the workflow forward.
