Q?
Can I approve part of a shift?
-
A.
Yes. In Calendar view, select just the portion of the timesheet to approve. Once it is approved, the timesheet will update to dark green, which denotes partial approval.
-
Q?
Can I approve multiple shifts at one time?
-
A.
Yes. All yellow timesheets include a box in the right-hand corner. Tick one or many tiles and then select the ‘Approve All’ button.
-
Q?
What happens when a timesheet is approved?
-
A.
Once a timesheet is approved, the system batches the timesheets and sends to Simpro (if applicable). Each batch may take up to five minutes to send through. During this time, you will notice two things in the Calendar – the timesheets will change to grey and a new button ‘Pending Approval’ will appear above the Calendar. Click on the button and the status log will list all timesheets awaiting to be sent to Simpro.
-
Q?
How can I find out when an approved timesheet was sent to Simpro?
-
A.
Apart from checking in Simpro (if applicable), you can also check Approval Log in the Reports section. The Log lists all green timesheets, including when a User submitted the timesheet for approval, who approved the timesheet and relevant times the actions were taken.
Any green timesheets that were subsequently deleted can also be searched, through the ‘View deleted timesheets’ link underneath the table.
