From the 1st November 2023, the Daily Authorisation and Period Authorisation pages will no longer be available for HF Cloud customers, as they are being superseded by the new and improved Timesheet page, making authorising and reviewing timesheets even easier.
In this article, we'll cover:
- Features of the new and improved Timesheets page
- Where to find it
- Resources on how to use it
- How to enable access to the Timesheets page for your teams (for Admins)
- How to disable access to the Daily and Period Authorisation screens (for Admins)
Features of the new and improved Timesheets page
Flexibility to set what you want displayed on the page, every time you visit, including:
- Selecting which columns to display and hide
- Selecting which Action buttons should appear on every row
- Fully configurable colour indicators for text in the Shift Types column
Three permission-based options for which Timesheet dates are available, so teams can work in the way that best suits their needs:
- Today's date only - no access to other dates
- Single date - with navigation to other dates
- Date ranges - with navigation to other dates and date ranges
Timesheet Alerts can be configured to draw attention to issues such as:
- Overlapping Timesheets
- Timesheets with Invalid Breaks
- Overtime Timesheets
Red row colouring also indicates any Timesheet that has an alert.
There are also more filters (including Award Profile) and grouping options, so you can quickly hone in on the Timesheets you need to see.
Where do I find it?
Head to Manager > Timesheets > Timesheets
If you don't yet have the new Timesheets option in your menu, ask your Admin to enable access.

- In Admin > Security Config > Access Levels, the access levels that should have access to this page should have the permission turned on for View Timesheet Authorisation Page (with the appropriate child permissions).
There are three child permission options available related to the dates a user can access on the Timesheet screen

To apply your desired option, select the permissions as indicated in the table above, for the relevant Access Levels.
