> Time / Approval / STAGE 5: Supervisor Approval / Supervisor Chain / Using the Supervisor Chain

Using the Supervisor Chain

When the supervisor chain has been enabled in the system, supervisors can begin approving the timesheet entries not only of the employees they supervise, but also employees supervised by those employees.

  1. Select Time - Team Chart.

  2. The Team Chart opens. This shows the timesheet entries of the supervisor (in this example, 'Raven'), all the employees they supervise, and (because the supervisor chain is set up) all the employees supervised by those employees.

    In this simple example, you're logged in as Raven, who is Bill Carr's supervisor. Bill Carr is Tony Hayers' supervisor.

    Because the supervisor chain has been set up, Raven can view and approve Tony Hayers' timesheet entries.

  3. Select the App checkbox ('Approve') of each employee whose timesheet entries you want to approve.
  4. Click the Approval button.

  5. Click OK in the alert box that opens.

You have approved timesheet entries for employees in the supervisor chain.

 

Approved entries are marked with a lock icon.

 

The approved entries are displayed with a 'thumbs-up' icon in the relevant project's WIP tab.
