General

Office Status: Used in Approvals. Normally the user’s Office Status is “In”.  If a user changes this status to “Out” and this user is included in any type of approval table, the system will bypass this user and notify the proxy instead for approval. If no proxy is assigned on the approval table, the item to be approved will wait on the user to return. If a user is marked “Out”, the next time he signs in, the system will ask if he is ready to change his office status back to “In”.

A user’s Office Status may also be maintained in SignOn > Users, if user menu permission allows.
