Upon doing so, I would also like to be able to see the progress of my requests so I know that they've been processed and what state they're in.\r\n\r\nAs a Tock user, I would like to be able to see past timecards in a way that shows me the latest state of the timecard as well as a history of all changes made to it.\r\n\r\nAs a Tock administrator, I would like an easier way to manage timecard amendment requests so I do not have to be constantly pinged in the #tock Slack channel.  I would like it to be possible for users to submit amendment requests, but not change their original timecard due to the requirements around our audit and record keeping processes.\r\n\r\n**Details**\r\n\r\nThere has been a noticeable uptick of requests to modify timecard entries recently, but we don't have a way for a user to submit modifications to their timecard(s) at the moment.  This requires folks to hop into our #tock Slack channel and request a modification, which in turn requires someone from the ops team to make the change.  Compounding this issue is the fact that it is hard to tell whether or not a request was processed since chatter in the #tock channel tends to move at a rather quick pace, so folks pop in to follow-up.\r\n\r\nI think adding a timecard amendment feature would provide a valuable addition to Tock as it would allow folks to submit amendments themselves and see their progress/status, and it would allow the ops team to work on them when it's most convenient for them.  In theory it should cut down on the number of requests in the #tock Slack channel to modify timecards, keeping the channel free for other discussions and Tock announcements.\r\n\r\n@batemapf, @sfvictor, do you have any other thoughts around this?  Is anything unclear or did I get something wrong?  Please let me know and feel free to ping anyone else who may want to weigh in!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/tock/issues/comments/240860931","html_url":"https://github.com/18F/tock/issues/418#issuecomment-240860931","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/tock/issues/418","id":240860931,"user":{"login":"sfvictor","id":13007635,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/13007635?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor","html_url":"https://github.com/sfvictor","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfvictor/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-08-18T21:21:43Z","updated_at":"2016-08-18T21:21:43Z","body":"Hi folks @ethanheppner is not involved in tock.  It is Matt Spencer on our\nteam who is also Tock master.  But for now he is too heavily involved with\nAgreements/FY close outs.  I like this approach but my time is finite at\nleast through the end of the month.  We do have a change log but it is not\npublic, and not sure if we should/could link to a form.  I would have much\nmore time to discuss this further after the end of this month, but my plate\nis full to capacity.
