Tip 37 - Timesheet Management

Managing the timesheets of all your users can be tedious if you have to go to the Timesheet module for each entry. Here are some easy ways to access the timesheet data and the module.

From Global View

Instead of going into each project to record the timesheet entries, you can just go to Global view and view the timesheet entries of multiple projects at one place. You can also approve them from here. Click Global View in the upper right corner. Go to Log Hour s, click a timesheet entry, go to the Log Hours section and approve the timesheet entry.

Timer for multiple work items

You can run multiple timers for multiple work items and control them from one place. Click Global Timer on top to check the current timers running for a particular user. If you'd like to start timers for other work items, click the magnifying glass icon, enter the name or the ID of the work item and click Start .

Export of Timesheet

You can access the timesheet entries offline by exporting them. Go to the Timesheet module, click the

icon and select Export . Set your preferences and click Export . You can also check the history of your exports by clicking Export History on the upper right corner.

We hope this tip helps you with timesheet management. Do write to support@zohosprints.com if you require further assistance.
