Here you define one or more user/s who can approve work logs for this project (approval managers). They automatically get all permissions required to perform the approval process in the Reporting section of ictime.

How it Works

For general information on the approval feature, please refer to Approval.

To use approval,

the feature needs to be activated gobally (see Global Add-on Configuration)
at least one user needs to be selected as approval manager for each project.

Approval can't be activated/deactivated on project level. If approval is in place, it applies to all projects.

Assign/Unassign Users for Approval (Approval Managers)

Go to

ictime - Configuration - Project Configuration

Edit a project and click on the tab "Approval" (see Project List).

Assign Users

If approval is globally enabled, at least one user needs to be selected as approval manager for each project.

User

Simply start to type in the user and the user picker will provide suggestions to pick from.
