Process
The employee completes the leave application form. This is sent to the manager, who approves or rejects the application. When the application is approved, the application is forwarded to the director, who then makes the final decision. 
 
Form
Here is an example of a .Net Web Form.
The layout can be fully customized by using Visual Studio or the free Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. The Web Form just needs to contain all the fields required for this process.
The sections of the form can be displayed based on the each workflow action and based on the profile of the user connected.

3/ In “My to-do list”, he/she clicks “Complete” and the form corresponding to the selected application is displayed. The employee completes the form and clicks “Send form”.

4/ Now back at the “Application follow-up form”, the employee can choose to whom the application is to be sent. By clicking “Assign this action to a person”, he/she can select the person from a list and click “Assign”.

5/ At this point an e-mail message is sent to the selected person (the manager) with the subject line reading “One new action has been allocated to you”.

6/ By clicking “View action”, the manager accesses the “Application follow-up form” and goes to “My to-do list”. By clicking the action allocated to him/her (here, a validation), the form opens again.

7/ The manager selects the next participant, who is then notified by e-mail and performs the action assigned to him/her.

Whatever the outcome, the employee is notified of the final decision regarding his/her leave application.
