Understanding Weekly Approvals
Learn how the two-stage weekly approval workflow works in Logged.
How the Approval System Works
Logged uses a two-stage weekly approval workflow to ensure accurate time tracking. At the end of each week, team members submit their logged hours for review. An admin or manager then reviews and either approves or rejects the submission. This process helps maintain accountability and ensures that all recorded hours are accurate before they are included in reports.
Submitting Your Week
Once you have finished logging all your time entries for the week, navigate to the Approvals page and click "Submit" for the relevant week. Before submitting, review your entries carefully — check that descriptions are clear, hours are correct, and all work is assigned to the right projects. After submission, your entries for that week become locked and cannot be edited.
The Review Process
Admins receive a notification when a team member submits their weekly hours. From the Approvals page, they can review each submission, inspect individual time entries, and check descriptions. If everything looks correct, the admin approves the submission. If there are issues — such as missing descriptions or incorrect hours — the admin can reject the submission with feedback explaining what needs to be corrected.
After Rejection
If your submission is rejected, you will receive the admin's feedback on what needs to change. Your entries for that week become editable again, allowing you to make the necessary corrections. Once you have addressed the feedback, you can resubmit the week for approval. This cycle continues until the submission is approved.
