6. To require that schedules be approved before they are published, select Enable Schedule Approvals and then select the individuals that you want to be able to approve and reject schedules.

   Each restaurant has a drop-down list of employees associated with that restaurant. Use the list to select the employees who can approve and reject schedules. The list of approvers appears in a box below the restaurant number. To remove an employee from the list of approvers, click the X next to that employee's name.

   When you turn on the Enable Schedule Approvals option, all users who have the Edit Schedules permission automatically inherit the Approve Schedules permission. If you want users to be able to edit schedules but not to approve them, be sure to remove the Approve Schedules permission at the organization and restaurant levels for those users.

   To prevent users other than schedule approvers from printing or sending schedules that are pending approval, select Prevent Print/Send Unapproved Schedule.
