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:
Enable Project Time Approval in Tempo Settings for the organization.
Enable it for individual Cost Tracker projects.
