Weekly and daily timesheet
The time entry list is great for one log at a time. Terrible for answering “how is my week looking?” or “did I miss Tuesday on this project?”. The Timesheet becomes that board: you see the whole week (or the day) without jumping from one entry to another.
These are two views of the same period. Switching from Week to Day does not lose the date you were on — the goal is the rhythm of the work, not two different tools.
Who each view is for
Team member — uses Week to log and review the board before sending it to the manager. Uses Day when they need to see each time entry (morning meeting, afternoon execution) instead of a total in the cell.
Manager — looks at the person's week (or their own) to find gaps before approving what was submitted. On the day view, they check whether an odd total is one entry or several.
Administrator — points the team to Time tracking > Timesheet as the default weekly close path, instead of everyone living only on the project tab.
Where to find it
Time tracking > Timesheet, then Week or Day.
For a single log on the project, keep using log hours on the project. The Timesheet does not replace the timer: it organizes what has already been (or will be) logged in the period.
Week view — the board
Timesheet in Week view
- Open Time tracking > Timesheet > Week.
- The grid shows projects in rows and days in columns, with totals. It is the map of the week: where time went and what is still empty.
- Log or adjust hours directly in the cell when the work repeats or when you already know that day's total on that project.
- Long project names appear with an ellipsis so the grid stays readable even with many clients.
Use Week for the Friday ritual (or cutoff day): “is this week complete?”. This is where the team member submits the week for approval.
Day view — the detail
Timesheet in Day view
- Open Time tracking > Timesheet > Day.
- The list shows each log for that day, with totals in the header.
- After you save or delete, the day total updates immediately — what you see at the top is what is logged, without reloading the page.
Use Day when the manager asks “what was that Tuesday?” or when you need to fix a specific time entry without touching the rest of the week.
How it fits the team
- During the day, log on the project or on the Timesheet — whichever is faster for the person.
- At the end of the period, open Week and fill in what is still blank.
- If the account uses approval, submit the week. Reminders exist so this step does not depend on informal follow-up.
When to use Week, Day, or the project list
| Situation | Where to go |
|---|---|
| See if the week is complete | Timesheet > Week |
| Understand a day hour by hour | Timesheet > Day |
| Log while working on a project task | Project hours tab or timer |
| Close for the manager to validate | Submit the week on the Timesheet |
What gets easier
The team member stops “hunting” for the week in the list. The manager sees the board before approving. Closing the period stops being a last-minute surprise.
