There is already a topic on it but the steps are not complete. I would like to know if someone can help me or guide me on how to Create a Staff leave request function, upon submitting the request, the request should go to the Client in relation and then the user(client) Can go ahead and approve or disapprove. ---

two ways of doing it: 1. use the Users sheet to write a request directly into the staff row (this method will only hold one request) 2. create a sheet with requests, every time someone makes a request, a new row will be added with the user email, stuff email, and request text. add a boolean column that can be checked for approval and filter that will show only unchecked messages to the only staff with his email in it. ---

Thank you @Uzo I am trying to do the steps you advised but not really getting anywhere. I have two applications One for the client and one for the staff under those clients (Since we are a recruitment agency) What I am trying to do is give staff members an option to send a request to their respective clients which shows as a notification or whatever place in the client app and then the client has an option to either approve or disapprove(maybe we can use boolean or choose category option) ---

do you want to have multiple messages? then you need a separate sheet to record them… using a form to add a new row with the message, user email, and the email that this message is going to then have a inline list to show these messages, filtered by email and boolean that it was approved ---

Okay Thanks- @Uzo How do I showcase the request on the client application? Though an Inline list , is that what you are referring me to ? I am so confused!! ---

@Uzo Thanks for the zoom session. It was some great learning and feedback you gave. I am building the app again from scratch and will bug you when stuck 😃
