How to Create vacation rules to Delegate Approval Notifications to Another Person

Use vacation rules to handle notifications automatically when users are not available to manage their notifications directly, such as when they are on vacation. You can define rules to perform the following actions automatically when a notification arrives:

• Reassign the notification to another user
• Respond to the notification with a predefined response, or close a notification that does not require a response
•  Deliver the notification to the original recipient's worklist as usual, with no further action

 Vacation rule can apply to messages of all item types, to all messages belonging to a specific item type, or to a specific type of message belonging to a specific item type. Each time a notification is sent to a user, Oracle Workflow tests the notification against that user's vacation rules
