Revisions
If a candidate letter needs to be updated due to a change in a Course section, go into the appointment and click on the 'Revise Appointment' button at the top left. This will create a new, but connected, appointment which will then need to go through the entire approval process again.

SEBS HR has the ability to Delete an entry if something goes awry.
***There can only be one request for each contract. Employees can have a LECTURER appointment in multiple departments, so each department preparer would need to enter their submissions individually.
