Record and Process Time Requests (ems Time App)

Ungefähre Lesedauer: 1 min lesedauer

Time requests are requests for periods of presence or absence (such as vacation). Unlike direct time tracking, these requests are not transferred to the time tracking system until they have been approved.

Approval can be granted in one or two stages (approval by a supervisor only, or additionally by a project manager). Once a request has been approved, it can no longer be changed.

Entering a Time Request #

Tap the three-dot icon to create a new entry.

In step (1), select the desired time type; the available options depend on your permissions.

After making your selection, you can enter the desired duration (2). Whether this is by the hour, half-day or full-day, or whether the day is automatically filled in depends on the time type you selected. Depending on your selection, you may need to enter only the start date (3) or also the time.

Under item (4), you can enter a description of the request. Under item (5), you can upload a document or image directly to the request. Clicking “Save” saves the data and, depending on the settings, notifies the appropriate people for approval.

Editing a Time Request #

As long as the request has not been approved, you can edit it as many times as you like (arrow icon) or delete it. Approved requests are marked with a green check mark; rejected requests are marked with a red X.

View Hour Credit (Vacation & Flexible Work Hours) #

In the “Share” menu section, you can view your current balances. You can choose between hourly and daily views.
