FAQ: Assign multiple supervisors

You can assign one or multiple supervisors to each user. This lets you require two or more supervisors to approve a request. A multi-level approval workflow is therefore easily possible.

You can also configure whether, in a multiple assignment, only one of the supervisors must approve the request or all supervisors must approve it. In the latter case, you can also specify whether the approval should happen in a specific order.

Proceed as follows:

Sign in to Timebutler as an admin and click “Settings > Supervisors” at the bottom left. At the top, in the blue box at “Each user can be assigned exactly one supervisor. This is the simplest and clearest setting for all employees. You can enable the option to assign more than one supervisor to each user:” click the link “Activate now”.

You can now assign multiple supervisors to users on the page. You can set the order of the supervisors by clicking the “Employee list” tab on the page.

As soon as at least one employee has two or more supervisors assigned, click “Settings > More..” at the bottom left, then click “Global settings” on the right. Now check/change the following two options:

  • Multiple supervisors - Approval order
  • Multiple supervisors - Approval
