Next Steps
Each department/college may have a different business process, but generally you will need to notify the appropriate MPP/Administrator that there are TAE appointments for them to review.
Remember that some EE Groups may have a different approval workflow, so the step after your review may not be the MPP Approval.
You can delete an appointment as long as it has not been reviewed/approved by an MPP/Administrator or processed by Payroll.

If a revision needs to be made to the appointment, use the Push Back feature to send the appointment back to the originator for revision.
1. Use the magnifying glass in the Pushback? column to look up valid values.
2. Select Originator.
You will only see steps in the workflow that come before you. Typically, you will push back appointments to the 0 - Originator, which is the person who created the appointment, as they are able to make revisions.
Review TAE EE Groups and Workflows to see who is at each step in the workflow for each EE group.
3. Enter a Reason the appointment is being pushed back. Copy and paste the reason in the Comments box.
Generally this will be the revisions that you would like the Originator to make to the appointment.

4. Click Save & Submit to send the appointment back to the Originator.
Keep in mind that when you Save & Submit, any appointments marked as Approved will also be submitted!
5. You will see a window indicating if there are any rows with errors and how many rows were successfully submitted without errors. Click OK.
Next Steps
Each department/college may have a different business process, but generally you will need to notify the Originator that there are TAE appointments for them to revise.
Next Steps
