Objective: To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the labour approval process by introducing a visual color-coded system that clearly distinguishes between rejected and pending approval time cards.
Approvers can instantly identify rejected entries without having to rely solely on filters or manual sorting.
Suggested Color Scheme
Red: Rejected time cards
Green: Approved time cards
Yellow: Pending approval
Following the colour coding already shown in the FLEX app for technicians

What problem is your idea trying to solve?
The idea of introducing color coding to differentiate rejected and pending time cards in the approval screen is trying to resolve several key challenges in the current labour approval workflow: 1. Lack of Visual ClarityCurrently, approvers must rely on filters or manual sorting to distinguish between rejected and pending time cards. This can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when handling large volumes of entries. 2. Risk of Approval ErrorsWithout clear visual indicators, there's a higher chance of mistakenly approving rejected time cards or overlooking entries that still require action. This can lead to inaccurate labour records and downstream operational issues. 3. Inefficient WorkflowApprovers spend unnecessary time navigating and interpreting the approval screen. A color-coded interface would streamline the process, allowing for faster and more confident decision-making. 4. Delayed Technician ResponseRejected time cards may not be addressed promptly if they’re not easily visible. Color coding would highlight these entries, prompting technicians to resolve issues more quickly and improving overall turnaround time. 5. Poor User ExperienceThe current interface lacks intuitive design elements that support efficient task management. Color coding is a simple yet powerful enhancement that aligns with best practices in user interface design, making the system more user-friendly. |
