Important Note: You only could set approvers out of office if they are already set an approver in the system. For Example A if an employee is not set as an approver in the system, then Employee A will never show up in the available approvers to set for out of office. One thing you could do is to setup an approval team group with no users but only approvers that could be assigned for out of office.
