This article explains how to use the Timesheets Entry features as a Team Member, someone who is tracking time on plans & tasks.
NOTE: Resources must be assigned a role to import timesheet hours into the resource plan.
Navigate to Timesheets
Click on the Timesheets icon in the navigation. You will begin in the "Time Entry" mode. This is where Team Members track time on their work assignments.
Any items that are assigned to you and have dates overlapping the timesheet period dates will auto-add to the timesheet.
Change Timesheet Periods
When you first go to your timesheet, you'll navigate to the current timesheet period. If needed, you may navigate to another timesheet period.
Click on the period dates. A drop down will show all open/unlocked timesheet periods. If the admin has locked a period, you can no longer navigate to it.
Use the period navigation icons to quickly move to the previous period, the current/"today" period, or the next period.
Copy or Import Timesheet Items
To copy or import timesheet items into your timesheet:
- Click the Copy Timesheet icon.
- Select the desired copy or import method:
- Copy From Previous Period: Select to copy items from the previous timesheet period into the current timesheet period. This will overwrite any existing entries for this period.
- Copy To Next Period: Select to copy items from the current timesheet period to the next timesheet period. This will overwrite any existing entries for that period.
- Import from Tasks: Select to add any tasks to your timesheet you are currently assigned to for the current period.
- Import from Resource Plan: Select to import items that have been assigned to you in the Resource Plan. This will overwrite any existing entries for that period.
- Click YES on the warning pop up to confirm the copy.
NOTE: If using the Import from Resource Plan method, check the "Include hours in import" check box to import hours from the Resource Plan into the timesheet.

NOTE: Additional fields vary by organization and are setup by your administrator.

- If needed, you may also select items & recall them, if you need to make changes.
Time Submitted
Once a row is submitted, it is no longer editable. If needed, you may select the row & recall to edit.
View Workflow Status
When the approver has approved or rejected, you will see the updated status icon. Click on the icon to see the workflow status and any approval/rejection notes.
NOTE: based on your organization, timesheets may be set to auto-approve.
Totals
If the Billable Grouping setting is enabled on one of your timesheet fields, you may expand the Total section to see a breakdown of your hours. Note that hours types may be titled something other than "billable" (i.e. chargeable, etc.). The Utilization graph is based on whichever field value (i.e. "Billable") divided by the number of daily target hours per day.
Delegates
Act as Delegate
If you are a delegate for another user, you may view and edit their timesheet on their behalf. The user profile photo shows for whose timesheet you see. Click on the photo to see a list of your delegated users & select another user's timesheet, if able and needed.
Assign Delegates
If enabled, you may be able to assign your own delegates. Click on your user profile picture. Select My Delegates. Enter any names for Entry Delegates & Approval Delegates (Anything for which you are the approver will be delegated to the approval delegate(s) you assign).
