Level 2 and Above - Workflow Progress and Actions
Workflow Progress
Once the workflow is set up and enabled, the Timekeeper at Level 2, on logon, will view the timesheets sent from Level 1 that require approval. Timekeepers MUST have access to the Company and Schedule and can only view the workflow at each of their designated Levels.
Workflow Actions
For each individual timesheet, you may select any of the specific Workflow Actions below:
- Move Forward: Timekeepers at Level 2 can move timesheets forward.
- Move Backward: Timekeepers at Level 2 can move the timesheets backward to the previous approval levels if there is a discrepancy found.
- Post Record: Timekeepers at Level 2 or Higher can post and approve timesheets ONLY if this is the Timekeeper who is at the final Approval Level.
- Batch Actions: This is used to edit multiple timesheets at the same time.
Timesheets that have been sent backward/forward to previous/next levels MUST undergo ALL the timesheet approval steps until final approval. As such, timesheets may be back and forth until all queries are satisfied. All Comments at each Approval Level are tracked and maintained.
