ello Orangescrumers! We are back with something new for all our customers with our
latest release. We at Orangescrum stay committed to our resolve of listening to our customers and updating our product to ensure it addresses the ever changing needs of the market. All the following updates are being released with a common goal to ensure an easy and seamless project management experience.
Product release: Although we have time tracking and timesheet features that include a “timer” to track spent hours automatically while you focus on real work. In the meantime we got customer feedback about timesheet approval. Considering the feedback, we have worked on the timesheet approval feature and released it for all the users.
Timesheet Approval: This feature enables you as an approver to approve or reject the weekly timesheets and the hours logged by the users. The users can select their approvers and submit their weekly timesheet for approval. Previously there was no way for the approvers to approve the hours logged by a user. Now, the approval of your weekly timesheet is in the hands of the approver.

Somehow, have more control over your teams working remotely and check the overall progress of your projects even more efficiently by monitoring the hours logged by various resources working on the projects. Note: The user will not be able to edit the timesheet once submitted until rejected and reverted back by the approver.
Specify any shortfall or over spent hours: Users would be able to know any shortfall or exceeded time logs over a week while submitting the timesheet.
For any shortfall, the user has to put a reason in the comment before submitting the timesheet to the approver.

Timesheet Approval Management: Users would be able to see their submitted timesheet status as per the level of ● approval Request ● my pending timesheet ● my approved timesheet ● my rejected timesheet
Approval management for approvers is just so easy! Manage the timesheets pending for your approval, have a glance at all the timesheets handled by you, get a quick view of all the timesheets pending to be handled, accepted and rejected by you all with ease. Note: The approvers can add a reject note in case the submitted timesheet for a user is being rejected. This allows the user to understand the cause of rejection, rectify it and submit it back to the approver.
Timesheet Report: Get a complete timesheet report with actual vs estimated, rejected, approved and submitted time entries by resource or project over a period of time in a single view.
