Approval of Time Recording from Different CATS User Interfaces

Approvers can approve multiple employees’ time recording entries from different CATS user interfaces without implementing the Record Working Time application in Employee Self-Service (ESS).

Restriction of Time Recording Entries Requiring Approval

Approvers can restrict the number of time recording entries requiring approval by defining particular approval criteria for time recording entries.

For more information, see Special Approval.

Filtering of Results

Approvers using a POWL can filter the results by changing the employee selection under Change Query. They can also change the view, which defines how the data is grouped and displayed in the Collective Approval application.
