Weekly timesheet approval in Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps has no built-in approval step for time. If payroll, clients or capitalization reports depend on logged hours, someone has to confirm each week before it is used.
How approval works in Saguaro Hours
- Submit. Each person fills in their week under Boards, Timesheet, and selects Submit. The week shows the hours required next to the hours logged.
- Review. An approver sees submitted weeks and opens each one by work item and day.
- Approve or reject. A rejection carries a reason, and the week goes back to the person to fix.
- Lock. Submitted and approved weeks are locked, so the hours in a report match the hours that were approved. An approver can reopen a week.
- Report. Export approved time to CSV, filtered by dates, person, area path or iteration path.
