Accessing attestation from the clock widget in mobility

From the clock widget, users can access attestation by clocking on and agreeing to review time attestation records or by tapping the Time Attestation button. The user can then iterate through the timesheet records that require attestation in the timesheet attestation view, before returning to the dashboard.

During attestation, users can approve, reject, or skip individual time attestation records. When the user has multiple records to attest, the records are displayed from oldest to newest. After the user approves or rejects a record, the next oldest record is displayed, and so on, until the most recent record before today's date is displayed.

Note: The attestation records in the standard attestation are also now displayed from oldest to newest. In previous releases, the records were displayed from newest to oldest.

In the detailed attestation, up to 100 records are displayed. After the user attests to those records, additional records are displayed. In the standard attestation, up to 20 records are displayed at a time. Additional records are displayed through scrolling.

After the user completes their review of pending records, they are prompted to review any records they have previously rejected if the Allow Resolve option has been enabled. If the user agrees to review their rejected records, each timesheet with an associated rejected time approval record is displayed, in chronological order.

For each rejected timesheet, the user's original comment entered at the time of rejection, if any, is displayed along with the existing rejected status and date in the Attestation section. The user can resolve the rejected record by tapping the Resolve button or skip the timesheet by tapping the Skip button. When the user taps the Resolve button, a new time approval record for that day is created with a status of RESOLVED and the day is no longer considered as rejected. When the user taps the Skip button, the day is left as rejected. The next eligible rejected timesheet, if any, is then displayed.

To encourage users to attest, the Skip button on the navigation bar can be hidden using the ACTION_TIMESHEET_DETAILS_TIME_ATTESTATION_NAVBAR_SKIP element, which is found on the MOB_TIMESHEET maintenance form. When the Skip button is hidden, users must accept or reject the time attestation record before being able to proceed to the next record.

Note: The Skip button cannot be hidden for rejected timesheets. When reviewing previously rejected timesheets, users always have the option to skip.

To modify the default message found on the navigation bar, "Action required for time attestation", modify the value of the MOB_TIME_ATTESTATION_NAVBAR_TITLE message, which is found under the Mobility domain.

If the Time Attestation button is not required on the mobility clock widget, you can configure the security permissions for the GROUP_CLOCKSTATUS_TIME_ATTESTATION element, which is found on the MOB_HOME_CLOCKS maintenance form, so the button is hidden.

When a user clocks on and is prompted to review their attestation records, they have the option to cancel the attestation. To encourage users to review their time attestation records, you can configure the security permissions for the ACTION_CLOCKSTATUS_TIME_ATTESTATION_REVIEW_CANCEL element, which is found on the MOB_HOME_CLOCKS maintenance form, so that the No button and the close (x) option on the Confirm pop-up window are hidden.

Note:  If you remove the ability of the user to cancel the attestation, you should also modify the value of MOB_REVIEW_TIME_ATTESTATION message under the Mobility domain. The default message, "Do you want to review time attestation records?", assumes the user has the option to review their time attestation records at a later time.
