Do new users have a default password?

When creating a new user in Journyx Timesheet version 7.0 and up, it is possible to designate a specific/customized default password for each user. You do this by simply entering a default password in the "New password:" and "Confirm password:" fields on the Create User screen. You may also copy the settings for an existing/sample user in order to populate the password fields.

If you leave the password fields blank, the new user's password will be the same as his Username the first time he logs in - at which point he will be prompted to change it (assuming default password change system settings haven't been changed).

How can I view the approval process audit log for a selected time or expense sheet?

Time and expense sheets are identified by the period that is assigned to the sheet/user. For each sheet/period, there is a Sheet History report that includes the date the sheet was created, as well as the information for all approval actions related to the sheet. The Sheet History report includes the date/time of the action and the name of the person taking the action for: creation of the sheet, submission for approval, resubmission for approval, rejections for all levels, approvals for all levels, and reopening of sheets.

A user can view the Sheet History report for his time or expense sheet by clicking on the "Sheet History" link at the foot of the entry grid accessed via the Time, Expense, or Mileage tabs. Approvers and Timekeepers can also view this report by viewing a user's sheet and clicking on the same link at the foot of the submitted sheet/entry grid for timekeeping screens via the Approvals or Management->Users->Timekeeping tabs.
