Please make sure that the manager who approve job swap requests is also included in the group.
In Settings - tab System config., if the option Automatic process job swap request upon teammateaccept is on YES, the job swapping is processed immediately after the peer acceptance, without needing the approval of a manager.
How it works:
In practice, the job swap will result in a Change Day Program between employees.
The flow of the request is as following:
The employee requests a job swap with a teammate on a specific date. This is done entirely in Astrow Mobile.
The teammate has the option to accept or reject the request in his Astrow Mobile.
If the teammate accepts, then their manager will need to send the final approval to process the request. If the option Automatic process job swap request upon teammateaccept is on YES in Settings - tab System config., the job swapping is processed immediately after the peer acceptance, without needing the approval of a manager.
