This November, we’ve added an optional setting to make ‘reason’ as a mandatory input when approvers are rejecting a leave application. By default, the setting is ‘Yes – Optional’. To configure this for each leave type, go to Leave Settings > Leave Type, then choose either to add new or edit. a. Leave Type – Add Leave Type Popup Users are able to set ‘Reason to reject’ for the approval process when adding or editing a leave type.

Additionally, Admins can choose whether to only allow new attachments from the camera function or also allow submission from existing files. a. Device > Assign Users To Device – New Setting 'Allow Media Source For Clocking Remark'

In TimeTec TA, there is an Approval feature which enables Admins to set up certain rules for managing Overtime, Edit Attendance, Out of Area Clocking and Outstation requests. This setting is located at User > Manage Approval Rules. Once the rules are configured, assigned employees can then apply through the system and these requests will be submitted to their manager/Admin for approval.
