A completed request appmail is received from the requesting user via e-mail. The request input data are extracted from the completed request appmail and are saved. An approval appmail is generated based upon and including the extracted request input data. The approval appmail is sent to the supervisor via e-mail. A completed approval appmail is received from the supervisor via e-mail. The approval input data are extracted from the completed approval appmail. Either an acceptance e-mail or a rejection e-mail is generated and sent to the requesting user depending upon the extracted approval input data. The method is also used to implement a survey or questionnaire and/or for task management.
