When approving timesheets using Fast Track you will only see the main categories and time accrued in each, you will not see time accrued in sub-categories, any written descriptions, or the audit trail.
WARNING: Fast Track is designed for supervisors and directors who oversee multiple reporters with very consistent schedules. It allows you to skip the detailed, one-by-one review of each timesheet. Because of this, Fast Track is not recommended for most supervisors and directors.
How to Turn on Fast Track
This feature can be turned on for specific admin roles.
