New Vacancy approval

When a new vacancy is created, the Vacancy Approval process routes the request for approval to the Assigned Approver. The Assigned Approver can be the Authorizing Manager defined in the Vacancy, or someone else.

The Assigned Approver receives an Action to approve the vacancy:
