Timesheet FAQ
Can I change my timesheet?
Yes. As long as you have the rights, you can edit or delete it using the ellipsis (⋯) menu.
Can I clone or duplicate an existing timesheet?
Yes. As long as you have the rights, you can edit or delete it using the ellipsis (⋯) menu.
Can I Autotime?
Yes. You can "Start Timer" once you click on the timesheet icon
I don’t have any tasks assigned; can I still do a timesheet?
Yes. Use the Create > Timesheet option and log time directly to a job or client without a task.
How do I choose the right Kind for my timesheet?
The Kind field classifies your time (e.g., Billable, Internal, Leave)
Choose based on what you were working on:
- Billable = Client/project work
- Non-Billable = Admin, meetings, internal training
If unsure, check with your manager or HR.
How can I avoid someone logging time to closed projects?
- Admins should ensure:
- Jobs are marked as completed or dead
- Ensure that the privilege is ticked which prevents users from logging time on a complete or dead job
- Users will receive a warning or be blocked from logging time on closed jobs
Can I fill in a timesheet for someone else?
Only users with the appropriate permissions (e.g., managers or admins) can create or edit timesheets for others.
