What a timesheet's page shows, where its totals and approval history are, and how to get from it to the time entries behind it.

Updated in release 0.0.1 Needs permission from your admin

In the sidebar, open Projects & Tasks, then Time & Mileage, then Timesheets, and select a row. The page address is /work/time-sheets/ followed by the timesheet and the tab you are on. It is laid out like every record page (see Find your way around a record page), with two tabs.

A timesheet adds up one person's time entries for one pay period. To change hours, change the time entries; the timesheet follows.

What you see

  • The summary strip: the Team Member, the Period, the Total Time (with overtime beside it) and the number of Entries.
  • The details panel on the left:
    • Timesheet details: Team member, Period, Status, Timezone, Created and Updated.
    • Totals: Rounded minutes, Regular minutes, Overtime minutes and Billable minutes.
    • Approval trail: when it was Submitted, Approved, Rejected and Locked, the Rejection reason, and the entry count.

The tabs

  • Overview:
    • Submission readiness lists anything stopping a submit, such as a timer still running.
    • Workflow actions holds the buttons for the current status: Submit (or Resubmit), Approve, Reject, Lock and Reopen (Submit and approve a timesheet).
    • Entry preview shows the first few entries.
  • Entries: every time entry with its Started, Ended, Duration and Status. Open entry opens the time entry itself.

The Actions menu

If something looks different

  • This timesheet does not currently contain any time entries.: nothing has been logged for this person in the period yet.
  • Approvals are disabled for this timesheet policy.: your organization approves entries one at a time instead (Submit and approve time entries).
  • Invalid timesheet link. or Timesheet doesn't exist.: the link is broken or the timesheet is gone. Open it again from the list.
