2. Email - An email monitor will need to be setup to process the incoming emails with the subject lines that match what is sent to the Manager when the employee submits the request. Email monitors are not available within a mApp so this will need to be setup manually.

3. Portal - You can allow managers to edit their employees Time Off Requests via the Portal however this will consume a license. You will also need to modify your Portal website to display the Time Off Request Dashboard and add the object to the Portal. Security groups should be setup so that staff can only view Time Off Requests for themselves or individuals they are manager for as specified in the Customer Internal object. Additionally if you expose this to the Self Service Portal any Portal security groups must also be modified to allow the appropriate permissions.
