Authorizing a week report

Once your hours for the week have been registered, you need to authorize the week report. This completes the week report and makes it available for review and authorization by your manager. The hours in the week report can be processed in Isah only after you and your manager have authorized the week report. The manager of an employee is set in the employee details in Isah.

Note: If an employee does not have a manager, only the employee will have to authorize the week report. Once authorized, the week report will immediately be ready for processing in Isah.

Open the My week report form.

Click this icon to authorize the time registration for the entire week. When you authorize the week report, this icon will be disabled, and you will no longer be able to change the week report.

As soon as you have authorized the week report, it will be sent to your manager, who can then authorize it as well.

To undo the authorization of the time registration, for example because your manager has pointed out an issue, click this icon. You can then correct, save and re-authorize the hours.

You can undo the authorization of your week report as long as your manager has not approved your week report.

Status

Remarks

Isah TR can be configured to allow only authorization of days or weeks that are fully accounted for. If this has been configured at your company, and you click the Authorize button, a message will appear saying that authorization is not possible as long as hours are outstanding.
To authorize multiple week reports in succession, select the Automatically open next week report available for authorization check box. Isah TR will then continue to jump to the next week report to be authorized, until you have reached the last week report to be authorized.
If configured at your company, you may be able to authorize part of the current week if a new month starts in the course of that week. You can then authorize the current week until the start of the new month, so that the current month's data can be processed quickly. If this functionality is enabled and the current month ends in the current week, then an arrow is displayed next to the Authorize icon, indicating that you can choose what to do. Click the icon to choose between authorizing until the end of the month (part of the week), and authorizing the entire week. If you are authorizing only part of the week, you need to authorize the remainder of the week at a later time.

	The colors of this icon on the week bar indicate the status of the week report authorization. Click it to see the authorization progress and any overtime. The information shows who authorized the item and when. The icon color may vary:
		If the entire icon is light gray, you have not authorized the week report yet.
		If the first check mark is red, it means you have a backlog and you need to authorize this week report.
		If the first check mark is blue but the second is not, your week report has been authorized by you, but not by your manager.
		If the entire icon is blue, both you and your manager have authorized the week report.
