2One of the team has asked for a more unusual multi approval step to manage staff cover requests. I've looked at the default templates which has been helpful - but it looks like this flow will need quite a bit more customisaton to make it work as intended.
The initial point of data entry will be a Form which any of the team can access. The process is below:
1. Be filled in by the member of staff stating reason for planned absence / time they will be out (several text boxes to cover all of this)
2. The line manager will then approve (sign and date it). This will be a drop down box on the form of all of the line managers - the member of staff will select their line manager (unless there is a dynamic way for Power Automate to know the user's line manager?)
3. It then goes to the cover manager (person A) to type in any cover implications (if there are multiple staff off that day etc)
4. It will then need to go to the SLT line manager (Person B or Person C)
5. It will then need to go to Person D for final approval (or rejection) and whether it is accepted or not.
6. It will then need to come back to person A to input it into the system and email the member of staff involved.
As you can see this is quite a bespoke approval process with 5 different approval steps. I am not even sure this will be possible as Approval step 2 and 5 are both 'Person A'
I am hoping to get all of this recorded into a spreadsheet that only Person A has access to as well as a Sharepoint list.
This is my first time of dealing with approvals - am slowly getting the hang of it. Any guidance on how to achieve any of the above would be very much appreciated.
