Timesheet

Goal: you record working times (timesheets) for a project and have them approved.

The timesheet module lets project members record the time they spent on a project.

Functions

  • Activity-related recording of employees’ working time and remaining effort.

  • Approval of recorded working times and remaining effort, based on the timesheet organization chart.

  • Schedule adjustments in the project after taking over approved data.

Access rights

To record timesheets, a user needs:

  • the Project user user role — allows reading portfolios and a resource pool,

  • the Root folder user folder role — allows reading projects and entering timesheets.

To accept timesheets, a user needs:

  • the Root folder administrator folder role,

  • the Project user or Project manager user role.

The Root folder administrator folder role also includes functions such as Read project and Accept timesheet.
