Project Administrators can access the Project Approval Configuration through "Project Settings" > "TimeWise Approval Settings"
1. Approval Option
This option controls the entire project approve function. If this option is turned off, related functions such as auditor selection and approve workflow will be disabled for both planning and worklogging on this project's issues.

User
Group
Issue Type
3. Timed approve
In the Auditor Conifguration list, if the Timed Approve is turned on, the logs and plans inside submitter's issues will be automatically audited at the confligured time point.
For example, if the audit time of this record is "12 am every day", the system will scan the author's "uncommitted" and "pending review" logs and plans before 12:00 am every day, and change the status to "Audited".
Note:
- If the auditor of this timed approve is still the auditor configured in this record, then it will be marked as "Timed Auto-approve".
The approval cycle can be configured in unit of day/week/month.
Day
The approval time is 12am every day.
Week
Any day of the week can be selected as approval time.
Month
Approval time can be anyday of the month.
Note: If it is configured to automatically approve on the 31st day of each month, it will take no action if there is no 31st day of the month
