Creating a Time Sheet

Managing Work Items in a Time Sheet

If your Time Management administrator has configured custom user data fields for you to enter on time sheet lines, you enter the user data in the time sheet line details window.

1. Select the time sheet line, and click Line Details.
2. In the User Data tab of the Line Details window, edit the user data fields, and click Save.

These user data fields are consolidated for the entire time sheet on the Additional Information tab of the time sheet. They are read-only in this tab.

In some organizations, actual time is used as information for charge-backs to an internal customer, external customer, or requestor. Time Management does not explicitly perform this charge-back or billing function. However, Time Management can specify charge codes, so that links can be created between work items and charge accounts to allow the time information to be extracted for a billing system.

You can add charge codes for your work items when the time sheet policy has added charge codes. To add charge codes for a work item:

1. Select the time sheet line, and click Line Details.
2. In the Charge Codes tab of the Line Details window, click Add Charge Codes.
3. Select the charge codes and click Save.

1. Select the time sheet line, and click Line Details.
2. In the Notes tab of the Line Details window, enter notes for the time sheet line and click Save.

The presence of icon () in the front of a work item indicates the work item has notes entered. Hovering your mouse over the icon displays the notes.

View approvals/transactions details of a time sheet

The approvals and transactions details for all time sheet lines in a time sheet are accumulated in the Time Sheet Details - Approval Details/Transaction History window, which is accessible by clicking the Approvals/Transaction Details link in the time sheet.

You submit your time sheet when you have completed your time sheet entries for an entire time period and you want to save and submit the time sheet for approval of its lines.

To submit your time sheet, open it and click Save & Submit.

Submitting the time sheet submits all of its unsubmitted lines. Time sheet lines cannot be submitted individually.

The status of each time sheet line is set to Submitted and the status of the time sheet is set to Pending Approval.

Time sheets cannot be deleted altogether, but you can cancel Unsubmitted time sheets in case you need to start them over. Cancelling a time sheet removes all the time logged against its work items. After you cancel a time sheet, you can create a new time sheet for the same time period even if your time sheet policy prohibits multiple time sheets for the same time period.

To cancel your time sheet, click More > Cancel Time Sheet in the upper-right corner of the time sheet.

To print your time sheet, click More > Printable Version in the upper-right corner of the time sheet.

Time sheet audit trail keeps track of when and who did what to the time sheet.

To view the time sheet audit trail, click More > View Audit Trail in the upper-right corner of the time sheet.
