Understand time entries

The next screenshot illustrates time recorded for three consecutive days:

Recorded time for 3 calendar days

On Mon 9 both time and comments have been entered, and these entries have both been saved and validated.

On Tue 10 only time has been entered. The red flag indicates that the time has not yet been saved.

On Wed 11, neither time nor comments are entered, but the red flag indicates that the time value in this cell has been edited since the timesheet was last saved.

Since only the entries for Mon 9 have been saved, this is as yet the only validated input. There may be time recorded for Wed 11, pending the next save.

Error and Status Indicators

If there are any errors in a timesheet, this is indicated by the display of timesheet text in red font.

The final column in both Time tabs, Status indicates the lowest status of any entry on each timesheet line: Proposed (indicates a pinned entry), Incomplete (black font), Errors (red font), Validated (i.e. Saved - blue font), and finally Approved (blue italic font).

Status column showing Errors, validated, and incomplete.

The display of Approved items in italics is governed by a Time and Expenses preference, Show Approved Items in Italics.

Timesheet totals

In each view, timesheet totals are displayed in a tabbed region beneath the Time and Expenses tabs.

The display of Timesheet Totals tab is dependent upon both the Timesheet period length, the sizing of the browser window and/or the resolution of your screen. If it is not visible, first Maximise your browser. If that does not work, increase your screen resolution.

In grid view, totals for the entire timesheet period are displayed at the foot of the Time column, and individual totals for each day are displayed at the foot of the relevant day column. In list view, only totals for the entire timesheet period are displayed.

  • Chargeable = Chargeable time.
  • Non-Chg = Non-chargeable time.
  • Total = Total time.
  • Min Time = Minimum time requirement.
  • Over/Under = Minimum time minus Total time.

    Min Time and Over/Under are subject to timesheet control.
