workflow absence in ESS ?

hi there,

we have started with a copy (and lightly modified) of WF WS12300111. (absences in ESS).

well, with this workflow the boss of an employee gets an email that the emp. has entered

a absence request (Holiday, and so on.........) and that it has to be approved.

when the manger does NOT react on that the email comes again after 10 days.

my users wish to change that value to 5 days.

i can't find any point where to change this ! nothing in customizing and nothing in deadline ruling in workflow.

any ideas ???

best reg, Martin
