What are the Timesheets tool's default statuses for time entries?
Answer
The following table details the available statuses in the Project and Company level Timesheets tools.
Status | Definition | Usage | Project Level Timesheets | Company Level Timesheets |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pending | Indicates a new time entry has been created and is pending review. | When a user creates a new timesheet entry, it is automatically placed into the 'Pending' status. See Create a Timesheet. | ||
Reviewed | Indicates a new time entry has been reviewed and is awaiting approval. | After a foreman or superintendent in the field reviews 'Pending' time entries, they can edit entries as needed and then place them into the 'Reviewed' state. See Edit a Timesheet and Review a Timesheet. | ||
Approved | Indicates the time entry has been approved and is awaiting the next steps that your organization might require to consider the entries complete. | A project manager can then double-check the 'Reviewed' entries for accuracy and place them into the 'Approved' state to indicate they are ready to process. See Approve a Timesheet. | ||
Completed | Indicates the approved time entry has been finalized and is considered complete. This status locks time entries for historical record-keeping and time entries in this status cannot be modified. | A payroll administrator can place processed timesheet entries into the 'Completed' status after they are exported to your third-party payroll system. See Approve a Timecard Entry in the Company Level Timesheets Tool. |
