# Delegate time sheet approvals to another user

You can delegate the responsibilities to process the time sheets of your resources to another user when you might not have time or will be unavailable.

## Before you begin

Role required: timecard\_admin or timecard\_approver

## About this task

The delegate must have the timecard\_approver role.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Time Sheets** > **Delegate**.

2.  In the Delegates list, click **New**.

3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |User|User from whom the approvals and tasks are delegated to another user.|
    |Delegate|User to whom the approvals and tasks are delegated.|
    |Starts|Start date of the delegation period.|
    |Ends|End date of the delegation period.|
    |Approvals|Option that enables time card approval delegation.|

    **Note:** The other options on the form \(**Assignments**, **CC notifications**, and **Meeting invitations**\) are not applicable for time sheet approval delegation.

4.  Click **Submit**.


## Result

The approval delegation has the following effects during the specified period:

-   Both you and the delegate receive notifications regarding approval activity.
-   On the Time Sheet Portal, the delegate can see your resources under **Delegates** in the **My Time Sheet** list.
-   Delegates can perform all the functions that you can do for your resources in the Time Sheet Portal: Create and submit their time sheets, approve or reject the submitted time sheets, and recall the processed time sheets.
