Process a group of requests

Instead of processing requests individually, you can save time by processing them as a group (up to 30 requests). Multiple processing options are available.

Only requests displayed on the current Employee Request page are processed. These requests are processed in the order that they are displayed on the page. Processing starts with the request at the top of the page and continues to the next request until all requests on that page are processed.

Other group options

If you want to process or approve all requests in a filter, the following options are available:

Process all VTO options requests
Approve all shift Work period in WFM that has a definite length. bid requests without violations
Process all time-off choices without violations

To view only the request type that you want to process, use a filter created for that request type.
To increase the number of requests displayed, in the lower-left area of the page, increase the number. (The default is 10 requests per page, and the maximum is 30 requests per page.)
