When an Employee makes a change in TMS which requires authorisation by a Supervisor, a Request is generated. A list of Employee Requests is displayed in the Requests list.

By default, the Requests list opens displaying the Requests for the Employees in the Group you selected from the drop-down list at the top of the Supervisor Dashboard.

However, if the Preference: Use extended selection has been set in the Selection options (see Selection options for more details) you will be able to use a customised range of Employees in the Group function by clicking on the extended Group drop-down list. See Selecting employees for more details.

To open the Requests list page, select Requests list from the Group menu in the drop-down Header pane. It can also be accessed from the Menu and Shortcuts widgets which may be displayed on your Supervisor dashboard. A page similar to the following is displayed:

The Requests for the selected Group and current year are displayed in a table with one Request per row and are colour-coded according to their Status. Requests can be filtered by status or type using the filter option available by clicking the Filter icon in the top-right of the page.

Pending Requests can be accepted or declined individually by clicking on the  Accept  or  Decline  button on the relevant Request. Supervisors can also select multiple pending Requests to either accept or decline by selecting the check boxes at the end of each row and using the actions 'Accept selected requests' or 'Decline selected requests' in the left-hand pane. If successful, a message will appear at the top of the page. For example:

Clicking on the Type or Description of a Request opens up a new page with further details and additional options to change the Status and add a comment to the Request.
