Approve or Reject Daily Log Entries

Objective

To approve or reject pending entries in the project's Daily Log tool.

Background

If there are collaborators who are submitting log entries for approval, a user with 'Admin' permissions will need to approve the entries. In addition, if pending entries have been created through the Missing Companies feature, they will need to be approved by a user with 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions. Admins can also choose to reject an entry so that the collaborator must resubmit a new entry.
