Description
In the 11.38 a prior release we introduced the ability for Timesheet Approvers to be able to view a submitted timesheet's details and approve or reject directly from the email notification.
...
To solve these issues, in the 11.39 this release we have created additional merge tags, one for each separate action, that will so render as text:
Timesheet Merge Tags | Details |
Approve Text Action | Renders in the email as hotlink text Approve, and where clicked approves the timesheet |
Login Text Action | Renders in the email as hotlink text Login, and where clicked takes the user to the login page |
Reject Text Action | Renders in the email as hotlink text Reject, and where clicked rejects the timesheet |
Benefits
This enhancement provides agencies with the ability to limit the actions Timesheet Approvers can access via the in-email Approval / Rejection notification. This strategy also provides Timesheet Approvers with the ability to Approve, Reject or Login, where they have email restrictions on picture objects.
Configuration
Timesheet email templates are created and managed via Maintenance > Time & Attendance > Templates, click on the 'timesheet', then 'Email' item in the left hand panel. For instructions on how to copy and utlise the FT Template Approve-Reject Submitted TS via Email body, click here. If you wish to substitute the new merge tags, remove the 'Timesheet Approval Actions' merge tag (shown below in the template), and substitute with the new individual text action(s) merge tag actions required. Hint: When you click in the cell, pop up actions display where you can split the cell if you want to place an action merge tag neatly in each cell.
