Timesheets - Suggestions to improve data entry

I've just got a few suggestions to improve the usability the 'Log time' screen for timesheet data entry.

(1) Add a portal setting to allow users to type times in 24hr format instead of selecting from dropdowns in 12hr format. I find it much quicker to type times than to select from the drop-downs.

(2) On the 'Log time' screen there is a calendar on the left to select the date, and a list of recent entries on the right. I think that a list of entries on the selected day would be more useful. This could be in addition to list of recent entries, or it could replace the list of recent entries.

(3) The format of the recent timesheet entries currently shows the description, date and user and duration. It would be very useful if the name of the project and the start and end times were also shown.

(4) If the tasks for a single day are being viewed in the calendar (Screen title is 'List view') then the Log time button is clicked - the calendar on the 'Log time' screen should default to the date from the 'List view' screen, and not to the current date.

I hope these suggestions can be considered for future releases of the timesheet application.

Thanks
