Timesheet Search

Use the Search screen to find existing timesheets based on specified criteria.

Typically, the primary role that performs approval, the supervisor, has tasks created based on the system setup. However, for backup supervisor, for example, the tasks are not created unless a process is run to escalate the tasks to them. If you are a backup supervisor, you can use the Search screen to find signed timesheets that require approval.

Note: Timesheet search is only available to users with rights to view or approve other users’ timesheets.
