How to unapprove a time entry#
For: Manager You’ll need: A time entry with status ‘Approved’.
You’ll roll a single row back from ‘Approved’ to ‘Confirmed’ when an approval was premature or wrong. Shiftavo clears the audit stamp and records the reason you give.
Unapprove the row#
In the header, go to Planning → Management → Timesheet.
Find the approved row.
Click ‘Unapprove’ on the row.
In the ‘Reason’ field, enter why you’re reversing the approval.
Confirm in the dialog.
Tap More in the bottom bar, then ‘Manager’, then ‘Timesheets’.
Tap the row carrying the ‘Approved’ badge.
Tap ‘Undo approval’ in the sheet that opens.
The badge drops back to ‘Confirmed’ on the row itself. The app doesn’t ask for a reason — if your company expects one on the record, do it on the web instead.
What unapprove does#
The status flips back to ‘Confirmed’ (the confirmation itself is kept).
The approver and approval timestamp are cleared.
Your reason is logged on the row’s history.
Verify it worked#
The row’s status badge reads ‘Confirmed’ again. Opening the row’s history shows the unapproval entry with your reason.
Unapprove is how you unlock#
An approved row is locked: its clock times are read-only and ‘Confirm’ / ‘Undo confirmation’ are disabled. Unapproving is what releases that lock, so the row can be edited again. See What a locked row looks like on the timesheet.
