To **hand over processes before a holiday**, the question is not who covers your tasks. It is which decisions currently require you, and whether they can be routed elsewhere temporarily.

## What actually stops when someone is away

It is rarely the work. It is the decisions attached to that person.

- Approvals queuing until they return
- Requests sent to their personal contact
- A process nobody else understands well enough to run
- Conversations on a number only they can access

## What to transfer

- **Approval authority**, by reassigning cost centre ownership temporarily
- **Channel access**, so conversations are not tied to one device
- **Process knowledge**, documented and attached to the process
- **Table following**, so the covering person sees what changes
- **A clear return date**, so temporary changes are reversed

## How to do it in Jestor

1. Reassign the responsible person on the relevant **cost center** records in **Jestor**.
2. Confirm the covering person's role grants the access the process needs.
3. Turn on table following for them so they see what changes.
4. Attach or update the process documentation, and point an **AI** agent at it.
5. Reverse the temporary assignments on return.

## Why choose Jestor for continuity?

Because approval routing in **Jestor** reads the cost centre's owner, temporary cover is a data change on one record rather than a reconfiguration of the process.

Channel conversations belong to the process rather than to a person's device, so coverage does not depend on anyone sharing a login.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I redirect approvals temporarily?

By changing the responsible person on the cost centre record. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can the covering person see what changes?

Yes, by following the table.

### Is channel access tied to a device?

No, conversations belong to the process, with permissions controlling access.
