VisitsTracker › Approvals
Nobody has to chase an approval
A decision on someone’s leave, claim or hours shows up where they will see it — in the app on their phone and in the console — carrying who decided it and anything they said about it.
No card needed. Set up in an afternoon.
What you get
The answer finds the person who asked
The decision reaches the person who asked
Leave approved or refused, a claim decided, a correction to your hours applied — each one appears in the worker’s app and in the console, with the decider’s name and their note.
A manager’s queue sits in the same place
What is waiting on you — leave, claims, timesheet corrections, weeks not yet approved — is at the top of the same list, above the decisions on your own requests. A manager books leave like everybody else.
Every line goes to the record
Open one and you land on the request it is about, not on a list you then have to search. A notification you cannot act on is worse than none.
Built from the record, not a separate log
The list is read from the requests and decisions themselves. There is no second notification store that can drift out of step with what actually happened, and nothing to prune.
New work appears as it is assigned
A visit assigned to somebody shows up in their list alongside the decisions, so the first they hear of it is not a phone call at eight in the morning.
The phone keeps the last list it saw
Open it in a basement and the decisions it last fetched are still there, marked as what the phone last saw. It refreshes when signal returns.
What counts as “new”
The “new since you last looked” marker is per device. Read your updates on the phone and the console will still show them as new, and the other way round — the list itself is the same on both, because both read the same records.
Straight answers
Questions people ask
How does someone find out their leave was approved?
It appears in their updates in the app and in the bell in the console, with who decided it and any note they left. They do not have to remember to open the leave screen and read a status.
Do managers get this too, or only field staff?
Both, in one place. A manager sees what is waiting on them at the top, and decisions on their own leave and claims underneath. Their own requests were the half that used to be invisible.
Does it work without signal?
On the phone, yes — it shows the last list it fetched rather than an error, and refreshes when signal comes back. The console needs a connection like the rest of it.
Is there a separate inbox to keep tidy?
No. The list is derived from the requests and decisions themselves, so there is nothing to archive, nothing to delete, and nothing that can disagree with the record.
What is actually in the list?
Decisions on leave, expense claims and timesheet corrections; a week being signed off; and visits assigned to you. For anyone who can approve, also what is waiting on them.
