• The Timelogs Approver Overview
• Filtering Timelogs
• Viewing exceptions
• The Timelogs Approver Detail View

The Timelogs Approver Overview

Go to People > Timelogs to review and approve time logs.

Note: The Timelogs Approver Overview is the landing page for any user whose access level is Timelog Approvals.

Note: Leave Requests is the landing page for any user whose access level is Timelog Approvals and Leave Approvals. Select the Timelogs tab to access the Timelogs Approver Overview.

Initially, this page will show all of today's time logs. Once the filter has been changed, the last change including the date, will be remembered, unless you clear your Browser cache. You can adjust the filter to view time logs for a different date range, or from a particular person, or of a particular status. See Filter Timelogs below, for more information on changing the filter options.

Note: The initial sort order for the Timelogs Approver Overview is date order with the oldest date listed first. You can select the column headers to change the sort order. Selecting a column header again will reverse the sort order for that column.

Note: If Multiple appears in the Time Code column, this indicates more than one time code has been used on that day for that person. See The Timelogs Approver Detail View below, to see how to view the individual time logs for that person.

Note: If a Note icon displays to the right of the status, this indicates that at least one time log on that day for that person has a note on it.

See The Timelogs Approver Detail View below, to see how to view the individual time logs for that person.

Note: If Enable leave requests online is selected as an Organisation default (employees can request leave through the Employee Kiosk), read-only leave requests will display in the Timelogs Approver Overview.

Note: If you disable Timelogs for a person, their read-only leave requests will no longer appear.

Note: This article covers the navigation around the Timelogs Approver Overview. To learn how to approve, suspend or void time logs, see Approve, suspend or void Timelogs.

Filter Timelogs

The filter can be adjusted to view a different range of time logs. This can help in reviewing and approving all the time submitted over a given time period, or from a particular person.

The filter changes are remembered in your Browser cache, so each time you visit the Timelogs Approver Overview, the last filter you used will apply.

1. To filter by a specific person, type the person's name in the Person field.
   Note: You can also select the hyperlink of the person's name in the Timelogs Approver Overview table to filter by that person.
   
   Note: To show all people, clear the current person's name from the Person field.
2. Enable the Include inactive people checkbox if you want to include people who are no longer employed.
   Note: When filtering by status, each status displayed will be listed in the Status field. When you select the Status field, each selected status will appear highlighted in blue above the non-selected statuses (learn more about Timelogs statuses).
3. If you want to change the filter, to filter time logs days by specific statuses, select the Status field and choose from:
   • Select All - to select all statuses
   • Unselect All - to clear all the statuses
     Note: The Status field will change to Select a Status. If you do not select a status, all statuses will be displayed in the Timelogs Approver Overview.
   • Select a status to highlight it and add it to the Status field
     
   • Select a highlighted status to unhighlight it and remove it from the Status field
4. To change the date, you can either:
   • Enter a date range directly into the From and To date fields.
     Note: You can use the Calendar date picker icon to select the date from the calendar.
   • Select the Back arrow to change the date range to the prior period.
   • Select the Forward arrow to change the date range to the next period.
   • Select Current Pay Periods, and select an open pay period, if more than one pay period is open.
5. Once you have selected the required filter options, select Go to apply the filter changes.

Note: The Go button will be inactive (appear faded) if there are no filter changes to apply to the Timelogs Approver Overview.

View exceptions

If you have set standard hours, you can view only those time logs that are over or under the standard hours set (learn about defining standard hours for each person).

You can also view any time logs where overtime or penal time are the earnings type of a pay element mapped to a time code.

When looking at the hours in the Timelogs table, different colour shades will highlight any exceptions:

• Light blue: Person has worked less than their standard hours.
• Medium blue: Person has worked more than their standard hours.
• Dark blue: Person has logged time using a time code that is mapped to a pay element that has overtime or penal time as the earnings type.

Note: The More than standard hours and Less than their standard hours exceptions will only display if a person's standard hours are set to Assign standard hours per day for this person in their Timelogs Settings. See Adjust an individual person's Timelogs Settings for more information on setting daily standard hours.

To filter by exception

Select the required filter field above the table:

• Overtime/Penal Hours
• More than standard hours
• Less than their standard hours
• All irregular

Any days where the filter does not match, will be hidden.

To clear the filter

Select Show all.
