Time sheet entries sent for approval are displayed in the window. Here you can carry out the following operations:

A time sheet approver verifies the time log entries send to them for approval and then approves it. If the approver needs to view the role against which the time log creator has logged the time, column ROLE can be selected from the column selection window.

The approver rejects the timesheet if there are specific reasons for rejection. Once rejected the creator of the time log rectify the errors and re-submit the time log.

In certain organizations work happens over disciplines as well as projects. Therefore, the time spent by the resources will have to be reviewed and approved by two levels of approval authorities. One is the discipline lead and the other is the concerned project manager. The logs submitted by the user will first get submitted to the first level authority and the first level authority will forward them to the concerned second level approval authority.

In the timesheet approval window, timesheets submitted for approval are displayed. Once the time sheet is approved it is no more displayed here. Timesheets in Submitted, Reviewed and Rejected status are displayed here. Most recently submitted time sheet entries are displayed on the top. You can search and retrieve specific timesheets you are looking for.
