Project hours can be approved directly in Cost Tracker, where project owners can verify the hours worked by their team on the projects that they manage. This simplifies the process for a project owner to approve logged hours and for team leads to acknowledge the validity of the time spent on their projects.

For more information about approving hours in Cost Tracker, see Understanding Project Time Approval Workflow.

Project Time Approval is enabled in two different procedures:

  1. Enable Project Time Approval in Tempo Settings for the organization.

  2. Enable it for individual Cost Tracker projects.

Before You Begin

  • To modify Tempo Settings, you must have Tempo administrator permissions

  • To modify Cost Tracker project settings, you must be a Cost Tracker user with Project owner permissions for the project.

Enable Project Time Approval for the Organization in Tempo Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings (blue star).

  2. Under the Tempo Projects section, click Project Time Approval.

  3. Toggle Enable Project Time Approval.

Disable Project Time Approval for Projects

When you disable Project Time Approval for a project or organization, approval data is no longer visible.

If Project Time Approval is disabled on the organization level, the option is not available to Cost Tracker projects, and the Approvals tab is hidden.

A Project Owner can disable Project Time Approval for your individual Cost Tracker projects in your project configuration, or a Tempo administrator can disable the option for the entire organization.
