If you have selected for Assignments to require approval, you may also want to include 'Authorised By' and 'Authoriser Comments'. 

4. Click Next - you are now in the 'Filters and Options' page

5. If you skip this page, the query will retrieve all active employees and all Assignments they have ever submitted.
