Supervisor Time Edit and Approval

You use this activity to review and edit your summarized labor records or the summarized labor records of users in your cost center (see Cost Center).

This activity supports the two following modes:

Supervisor mode (see Supervisor Time Edit and Approval: Supervisor Mode)
User mode (see User Time Edit: User Mode)

Depending on the mode, you can perform different tasks with the time records in the activity. You choose an activity mode by setting up the ACTIVITY_MODE activity rule in Activity Maintenance.

Prerequisites

You have assigned users to cost centers on the Labor Tracking tab page in User Maintenance (see User Maintenance).
You have assigned designated users as supervisors to one or more cost centers on the Supervisor tab page in User Maintenance.
After you have set up Labor Tracking, users have done at least one of the following:
- Clocked in and clocked out (see Clock In and Clock Out)
- Labored on and labored off from SFC numbers in the POD
- Changed their user LCCs
- Collected distributed work time
For more information, see Tracking Labor Time in the POD.
Run the ODSLaborRollup script or schedule to run it periodically (see Determining Labor Rules). Otherwise, no labor records will be visible.

Integration

In this activity, you can view and edit distributed labor times that you collected in the Collect Work Time activity (see Collect Work Time).
