Concept: Edit and Approve Time

Concept: Edit and Approve Time

Managers can use the
Edit and Approve Time
report to get a single-page overview of time entries for:
  • Selected workers.
  • Organizations.
  • Their direct reports.
They can apply filters to refine the display by:
  • Employee type.
  • Job exempt status.
  • Pay rate type.
  • Worker type.
With the
Edit and Approve Time
report, managers can also:
  • Correct existing worker time entries.
  • Drill down on alerts for each worker to view details, correct errors, and resolve warnings causing these alerts.
  • Enter time off for a worker or approve the time offs submitted through Time Tracking or Absence Management.
  • Manually add new time entries or autofill from the work schedule calendar.
  • Mass submit and approve time entries for multiple workers.
  • Send back or deny individual worker time entries.
When you configure your tenant to submit by time period and review time by period, managers can approve, submit, send back, or deny time entries by period for workers based on their period schedules.
The report automatically sorts workers into grids of workers with or without alerts. The
Workers with Alerts
section displays workers with time entries that managers need to review and edit due to critical errors, warnings, or custom validations.
The
Edit and Approve Time
report doesn't:
  • Display time blocks if they are outside the period selected.
  • Enable you to delegate time submission or approval to another user.
  • Filter out workers who don’t have time entry eligibility.
  • Support the ability to manually advance time entries through business processes. Time entries can't be approved until the business process routes them to the approver.
You can't configure the:
  • Time Approval Summary
    .
  • Weekly Summary
    .
  • Totals. Workday always displays reported quantities for daily totals and worker row totals.
We recommend you use the
Edit and Approve Time
report for groups of 50 workers or less.

Access the Report

You can access the
Edit and Approve Time
report:
  • As a shortcut on your
    Home
    page.
  • From the
    Team Time
    worklet.
  • From the
    Time and Absence
    dashboard.
  • From the
    Time and Scheduling Hub
    .
  • Using global search.

Choose How to Review and Approve Time

You can configure both the
Review Time
and
Edit and Approve Time
reports so that managers can review and approve time for multiple workers at once. The
Edit and Approve Time
report also enables managers to make corrections before approval without switching between mass action and individual worker views. You can make both of these reports available for all your managers, or you can enable
Review Time
for some managers and
Edit and Approve Time
for others.
