How to Enable Time/Expense Approval via Email

The following configuration must be in place in order for the approvers to be able to approve timesheets and expense reports from their email.

The approvers approving time/expenses via email must have the ability to approve timesheets and expense reports from the list page. To enable this option:

  • From the Administrator menu expand the Security → T&E Access links

  • select the T&E Access group assigned to the approvers

  • Click the Assign Access tab in the bottom window pane

  • Click Add to add the new access rights

  • In the Access Setting pop-up window locate and select the following option:

    • Enable Approve and Reject from List

  • Click OK to insert the new access rights

4. Make sure the Print Processor profile is scheduled along with the email queue sender

This is usually enabled upon the go live as part of the pre-production checklist, but double check to make sure under Administrator menu → Job Schedule → All Jobs

There should be a scheduled job called Email Queue Sender and if selected, one of the profile actions assigned must be Print Processor
