## Settings for Activating a Substitute
If you are unable to approve documents because you may be away from work (e.g. on vacation) you can assign a substitute user that will receive any documents you would need to approve.
To select a substitute user, type the name of a colleague who has the same roles as you in the selected company.
A substitute user can be assigned for a defined period by using the date pickers or indefinitely by selecting the *Active now* option.
The *Inactive* option disables the substitute user.
