Can I review and approve/reject timesheets using iPhone Mobile App?
Find resources designed to help you get the most from Replicon
Starting with iPhone Mobile App Version 1.1.1 approvers can review and approve/reject timesheets.
Approvers will be able to:
- See an alert in the home menu and tab bar when items are waiting for approval.
- View a list of timesheets waiting for approval, and approve multiple timesheets at once.
- Enter approval comments.
- View a list of entries in each timesheet.
- Regular hours on the timesheet.
- Total Overtime hours on the timesheet.
- Total Time off hours on the timesheet.
- Number of meal break penalties.
- See the details of individual entries.
Additional details:
- The list of pending timesheets, awaiting approval, is organized by approval due date, with the most overdue timesheet appearing on the list first.
- When viewing individual timesheets, the approver can tap the > and < icons in the top bar to move forward and backwards through the pending timesheets.
- The timesheet will show details according to the timesheet format. For example, an In/Out timesheet shows In/Out time.
- The approver will only see the entries he/she has permission to view (Eg: Project leader can only view entries for his projects).
- The Comments field will auto-expand to show the whole comment, rather than just the first few words.
Limitations:
- Approvers can only view timesheets; they cannot edit them.
- Approvers cannot access their historical approvals through the mobile app.
- Overtime and pay code information would not be available.
- Time off entries will be listed in the timesheet, but the details of the entry cannot be viewed (tapping on the entry in the list does nothing).
- Approval by external users is not supported yet.
Typically the validation that happens when a user submits a timesheet does not happen when the timesheet is being approved. However, for the first 1-2 weeks after release, validation will be happening on approval. Therefore, if conditions have changed between submit and approval, approvers will receive a “technical error”. The approver can go to Web TimeSheet to approve the timesheet.
For example:
- User enters time against Task A.
- User submits timesheet.
- Project manager closes Task A.
- Approver tries to approve timesheet.
- Approver will receive error that there is a technical problem and be asked to approve/reject that particular timesheet in Web TimeSheet.
