TS_DETAIL_APPROVAL_MODE

This parameter specifies which work detail approval mode is used when work detail approval is enabled (USE_WORK_DETAIL_APPROVAL is set to True). This parameter determines the teams that users can view and approve work details. The parameter only defines whether users are limited to viewing and approving details from their home team. Each user’s security settings further define the work details that they can view and approve.

When set to View_WorkDetail_From_Home_Team, users can only view work details from their home team. Users can also be granted permission to approve work details from their home team through their security settings. Users are restricted from approving work details from any other team, regardless of their security settings.

When set to View_WorkDetail_From_All_Teams, users can view work details from any team they have permission to view, according to team security. Users can also be granted permission to approve work details from their home team through their security settings. Users are restricted from approving work details from any other team, regardless of their security settings.

When set to View_Approve_WorkDetail_From_All_Teams, users can view work details from any team they have permission to view, according to team security. A user can approve work details from any team where their security settings grant them permission to approve time for that team.

The application only displays the work details of the employees the user is entitled to view, according to the application’s team security model. For more information, see "System Security" in the Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

The user’s security settings also define the user's ability to approve time. These settings are specific to any given day and may change from day-to-day depending on the user’s security settings for that day. The relevant security setting is the value of the Can Approve Time parameter on the Team - Details page for the user (Maintenance > Security > Team Security > Team).

If Yes is selected, the user can approve time for the selected team.

If Role Default is selected, then the Can Approve Time setting for the user's role on that team is used, as defined on the Role Definitions page (Maintenance > Security > Team Security > Role Definitions). If the Can Approve Time check box is selected, the user can approve time for the teams to which the user is assigned as the role.
