Task Verification and Attendance Management

[Saba Adnan]

Can admins verify the tasks? 

Employees can update the tasks but only the admin can check and verify them. 

And how can we manage attendance, sign-ins, sign-offs, and manage leaves?

Hi @Saba Adnan , welcome to the Community. 

I’m not sure I understand your use case fully but it seems that you have a workflow where employees are assigned tasks and you desire to restrict the closure (verification). This can be achieved in Company Managed Projects by adding a validation on the transition to your done (verified) status(es). 

I need more info on the second part of your question but Jira alone doesn’t track Attendance. There are addon apps for this though.

Hi @Jack Brickey can you please explain the earlier part about adding validations, I'm still a little new to Jira.

What I'm looking for is a way where only the admin can verify tasks and employees can make updates about how far along they are, even if they're done with a task, I'd like it to be "verified" by just the admin first.

Sure. First let me correct myself here. You actually use a Condition for this not a Validation.

I will try to explain via an example. Let's say you want a workflow that looks like this...

To Do > In Progress >> Done. Further let's name the transitions denoted by the > and >>.

• > is named Start progress
• >> is named Verified

You can add a Condition to the Verified transition in a Company Managed Project (CMP) that will restrict who is allowed to execute the transition. In Team Managed Projects (TMP) you can do the same using the Rules feature.

here is how...

CMP:

1. go to project settings and select Workflows
2. click on the pencil icon to enter the edit mode
3. click on the Verified transition into the Done status
4. select Condition in the modal pop up 
5. select Add condition 
6. choose Permission condition
7. choose administrators or other group if desired
8. save then be sure to publish the workflow

TMP:

1. Click on ellipses and choose Manage workflow
2. select the Verified transition into Done
3. click on the + to add rule
4. Choose restrict who can move
5. etc...
