Enter Hours with Start and End Times by Project in a Timesheet

If required by your system administrator, enter starting and ending times for hours worked for your project before you submit your timesheet.

Prerequisites:

• On the Options tab in Time Settings:
  • Enable Start/End Time is set to Yes
  • Start/End Time Entry is set to By Project.

3. If the timesheet displayed is not the one that you want, use the search field to search for and select the one that you want to update. For example, use the My Timesheets search filter to limit the search results to include only your own timesheets. If you select a timesheet and displays beside it, the timesheet is locked and you cannot make changes to it.
