Timesheet Entry

To enter time, access your timesheets by clicking on the Timesheet link at the top of the screen. Click on the timesheet End Date under Times Overview or as of Version 6.2, selecting the Start End - End Date from the Timesheet sub menu.

If the timesheet is new and auto-populate has been enabled, the timesheet will auto-populate lines selected in the template file. Otherwise, the new timesheet will be blank.

If you are accessing a timesheet you worked on previously, it will open with the data since you last saved the timesheet.

The fields available for entry and/or modification are dependent on both what has been set up by Administrators as well as choices made in user Preferences. The Fields may include:

Field	Description
Time Code	May be used to designate a line as Billable, Non-billable, Sick Day, Personal Day, Vacation, etc.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)	Allows users to charge to a project structure that is up to 4 levels
Organization Breakdown Structure (OBS)	Allows users to charge to an organization outside of their home org.
Time Entry Field	Fields where the users enter actual time worked.

Exiting the Timesheet

While working on a Timesheet, you cannot access other sections of the application Time User Guide. To properly exit a timesheet, choose one of the following options.

Exit Without Saving: Exits the timesheet and does not save any changes made during that session.
Save As Draft & Exit: Saves the timesheet and allows you to return to continue from the same point.
Submit Timesheet: Begins the submission process to release the timesheet to approvers.

*Note: Closing the browser window prior to selecting one of these 3 options will result in the timesheet being stuck in the "Open" status. The system will behave as if you are still accessing the timesheet and will prevent any other users from accessing it.
