What is Timesheet Approval?
This feature enables you as an approver to approve or reject the weekly timesheets and the hours logged by the users.
The users can select their approvers and submit their weekly timesheets for approval.
Previously there was no way for the approvers to approve the hours logged by a user. Now, the approval of your weekly timesheet is in the hands of the approver.
Somehow, have more control over your teams working remotely and check the overall progress of your projects even more efficiently by monitoring the hours logged by various resources working on the projects.
