RE: PTE Timesheet Approval
Hi Pete72,
Because of the Active Directory relationship between employee and approver, I have not found a way to set up the admin to see all employees timesheets within the PTE setups. I have not tried using the alternate final approver as part of our workflow process, so I cannot speak to how that works if you are not the employee's AD manager.
However, if you create views for your data and then create SmartLists using those views, you can achieve your goal, if all you are after is viewing the data. You can do this so your managers also see the data using SmartList. Be careful with how you build your views so you are not exposing salary or hourly information to all employees. I created specific security roles for the two different views we built. One group can see salary related information plus projects, cost categories and hours; the other group can only see the submitted timesheets, hours and project information. Good luck.
