Once those items are complete, submitted weeks will appear in the dashboard where approvers can triage and finalize them for payroll. If you do not see the Time Cards module in your dashboard, contact your Cove Customer Success Manager or Cove Technical Support.\nTime Cards list\nA searchable, filterable list of employee-week entries for your site or portfolio.
