Opening a Timesheet

  1. In Timesheet view, choose File, Open Timesheet (Alt+F+O) or in the toolbar, click .
  2. Select the timesheet you want to open. By default, the timesheet for the current period is selected.

    Note: If no timesheets are listed, none have been generated for you. Contact your P6 administrator or project manager for assistance.

  3. If you are opening a timesheet for the first time, select one of the following options:

    Automatically add current activities to timesheet

    This option adds all activities you are scheduled to work on during the timesheet date range.
    If you want to add activities scheduled during the timesheet period, but for which you have completed your work (an Actual Finish exists for your assignment), choose the Add completed resource assignments option.

    Manually add activities to timesheet

    Use this option to select from a list of your activity assignments.

    Copy activities from previous timesheet
    This option automatically copies all activities included in the previous timesheet listed. This option is not available if the previous timesheet is Not Started.

    If you want to copy activities scheduled during the timesheet period, but for which you have completed your work (an Actual Finish exists for your assignment), choose the Copy completed resource assignments option. An administrative setting determines whether you are allowed to report actual hours for completed assignments or activities.
    To add your currently scheduled activities to the new timesheet, mark the Add current activities checkbox.

    Note: If a project's status has changed from active since the last timesheet, activities for that project will not be copied from the previous timesheet.

  4. If you chose the Manually add activities option, the Add Activity window opens. Select one or more activities, choose Add (Alt+A), then Close (Alt+C).
