Set Up TAE Appointment Authority

Overview

This job aid shows campus configuration specialists how to set up the TAE Appointment Authority.

The TAE Appointment Authority is named at the end of appointment notifications.
If you do not set up an Appointment Authority, this part of the notification is blank.

You can set up Appointment Authorities for specific employee (EE) group, department, or job code combinations.
If you assign Appointment Authority by department, any departments that are missing an Appointment Authority will leave a blank space on the notifications unless you also create a generic Appointment Authority and leave the department field blank.
If multiple Appointment Authorities are configured for the same EE group, department, job code combination, the system chooses one to assign.
