Please see this page first - Custom Business Rules (Stored Procedures) - for details common to all stored procedures, then read this page for details specific to Manager Time Approval Preview Custom Business Rules.
As an optional feature, the Manager’s version of the timesheet approval preview screen can include the display of custom messages that appear in a blue informational text block at the top of the preview screen. These messages may contain additional details of which the current user would like to make the Manager aware. The details of the custom message are generated by the execution of a custom stored procedure. This stored procedure is invoked in a similar manner as our timesheet stored procedure. This stored procedure does not prevent the approval of the timesheet but simply provides for the ability to display a custom message. This stored procedure is only accessed from the manager timesheet approval preview page.
You invoke the feature by enabling the Manager Time Approval Preview Stored Procedure (unatime.manager.approval.preview.stored_procedure) property. This property is used to define the name of a database stored procedure that should be called when managers preview a timesheet during approval. These messages are only viewable to managers, or alternate managers, during timesheet approval.
This page covers the following topics:
