Create and manage timesheet | Zoho Sprints Help

Create and manage timesheet

Timesheet in Zoho Sprints is a useful to record and monitor the work hours for work items and sprints. It enables you to measure the completed work in terms of hours.

Add log hours

Adding log hours is synonymous with creating a timesheet.

To add log hours:
  1. Open the required project.
  2. Go to the Timesheet module.

  3. Click the +Log Hours button. The timesheet creation form will appear.
  4. Select the sprint for which the log is added.
  5. Select the user. (Your name is selected by default.)
  6. Search and select work items for which the log is added.
  7. Enter details like log date, log time, billing status, and release (if applicable).
    1. Enter a log date which falls between the project creation date and the current date.
    2. Enter log time in one of the supported formats or switch to start and end time to select the respective values.
  8. Click the Create button. The log hours will be added to the timesheet listing page with the entered details.
Notes
  1. You can add logs under the following log types: items, meetings, and general. Switch these view types to view relevant logs.
  2. You can customize the creation form to include more custom fields that capture specific information. Go to Settings to customize the layout. Learn more.
  3. You can log hours for other users based on your profile permissions.

Add weekly logs   

Log the total work hours in a week as a whole using the Add Weekly Logs option.  
 
Idea
A scrum team works on a sprint, and they're entitled to log their work hours as they're used to calculate billing, analyze the budget expenditure, and optimize resource allocation. However, adding log hours for individual items one by one can be time-consuming and tedious. With Weekly log hours, you can log hours for multiple dates across log types in a single window. This is a time-saving and efficient way to add log hours.

Benefits   

  1. Allows you to add multiple logs in a single window.
  2. Allows you to select different log types for each log. 
To add weekly logs:
  1. Open the required project.
  2. Go to the Timesheet module.
  3. Click the dropdown beside the +Add button and select Add Weekly logs. The timesheet creation form will appear.

  4. Select the user. (Your name is selected by default.)
  5. Search and select work items for which the log is added.
    Note: If the log hours are not related with any work item, you can choose General under the Select Entity column and add the log hours accordingly.
  6. Check the Billable checkbox if the worked hours need to be billed.
  7. Log the hours worked under the respective dates.
  8. Click the Save button. The log hours will be added to the timesheet listing page with the entered details.

Timesheet views

The timesheets are displayed in a grid that resembles a calendar with an option to choose daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and quarterly views. In the list view, timesheets are presented in a regular list format.
  1. Grid view provides log details based logged and all users. The total log hours and the average are displayed. You can select the calendar options to change the calendar view. You can use the log type dropdown to view item logs, meeting logs, and general logs separately.
  2. List view presents details based on user or date. The sprint, billing status, approval status, and log hours are available along with username and log date. You can use the log type dropdown to view item logs, meeting logs, and general logs separately.
  3. The expand and collapse option allows you to show or hide data.
  4. The View by options include User and date based on which the data will be displayed.
