Timesheet tab

Timesheet functionality in Tracker allows users to track time spent on a particular aspect of a project. Users can specify the task, user performing the task, time spent, and additional notes, and the system will automatically calculate the difference between budgeted and unbudgeted time spent.

As with many of the tables found in Tracker, the Timesheets table is sortable by selecting a column heading. All columns are editable by users except the Total Hours column. Total Hours automatically calculates the sum of the Budgeted and Unbudgeted Hours columns in the Timesheet table. Running totals for Budgeted, Unbudgeted and Total Hours are tallied at the bottom of the table.

  1. To add a new entry to the Timesheet table, select the Add a Timesheet Entry button at the top of the table. This will create a new row in the Timesheet table.
