The following options are available for accepting substitution:

• Another user has defined a period during which you automatically accept their substitution.
• Another user has given you the right to substitute for them. In this case, you have to activate the substitution yourself.

On the ribbon, click User menu [your name] > Accept substitution.

In the dialog box, you can see who you are currently substituting for or may substitute for.

I have the right to substitute for

On the left-hand side, you will see an overview of the users you have permission to substitute for.

Information: If you are a supervisor of other users, you automatically have the right to substitute for these users. Users for whom you are a supervisor are not automatically displayed in the overview. Select a user from the Add employee drop-down field. The Add employee field is only displayed if you have been assigned the role of supervisor in the user manager in the ELO Administration Console.

You will recognize active substitutions by a green bar to the left of the profile picture.

If you click a user, their exact substitute permissions are shown on the right-hand pane. This area is for information purposes only and cannot be edited.

Edit substitutions

You have the following options:

• Activate/deactivate: These buttons allow you to activate substitutions that are currently inactive or deactivate active substitutions you want to end. These buttons are only available if the user you want to substitute for has given you the right to activate and deactivate the substitution yourself.
• Forward: With this button, you can forward a substitution if the user you are substituting for has given you the corresponding right. You can either hand off the substitution entirely or assign an additional substitute.

If you are currently substituting for another user, you will recognize this based on the blue figure next to your User menu [your name].

You will also see on your My ELO start screen that you are substituting for another user.
