Both filtering and sorting options are available and recommended for use, located at the top right of the Approvals page. It is especially helpful for system administrators is to sort by “Supervisor”, and filter by one of the “Unapproved” options to quickly see who still needs approval, and which supervisor to follow-up with.
Please see the section titled Reviewing the Approvals Page for more information on the sorting and filtering options.
Alternatively, a more-specific filter can be set on the overall employee list on the main Time and Attendance screen prior to launching the Approvals page, which will, in turn, also filter the approvals page based on that list. This method is often used when there are multiple pay periods and therefore approvals must be done for separate groups of employees at varying times.
Filters are located in the employee toolbar. Click on the Filter
icon located on the right side of the employee toolbar.

Below is an example of a filter that would limit the employees seen to only those assigned to the FT-California pay group and is in either the IT Networking or IT Security Department. The Filter Type set to Match All is like an and statement. In this example, both case one and case two must be true. If the Filter Type is set to Match Any, that is like an or statement. In that instance, only one of the cases must be true.
