Field Definitions: Timesheets View

The following are the default fields that appear in the Timesheets view window. To customize the data columns that appear, place focus in an activity data cell (not a time reporting cell), then in the toolbar, click (Shift+F10+L).

Activity Name

The name of the activity, which does not need to be unique within the project. You cannot remove the Activity Name column when you customize the view.

The symbols in the leftmost column indicate the activity status:

 Not Started

 In Progress

 Completed

 In Review/Rejected

A yellow triangle in the status symbol indicates that you are the primary resource for that activity. For example, indicates that you are the primary resource for an activity that is complete.

If the activity belongs to an inactive project or WBS, the icon is slightly shaded, . A project-level preference determines whether you have view-only access to inactive activities. If you do have the capability to view inactive activities, you will be able to view only those inactive activities that were added to a timesheet when they were active.

Project ID

The unique identifier for the project to which the activity belongs.

Activity ID

The activity's unique identifier.

Role ID

If you were assigned a role for the activity, this is the unique identifier for that role.

Dated Time Reporting Columns

These columns display only if your timesheets are set for daily format.

To report work time for an activity, select the cell that corresponds to the activity and date for which you want to enter time, then type a value. To enter overtime, type the number of regular hours followed by a forward slash, then type the number of overtime hours. For example, to enter eight regular and three overtime hours, type 8/3.

Note: An administrative setting determines whether you have the capability to log overtime hours.

Total Hours

The total number of hours recorded for the activity. Total Hours are displayed only if your timesheets are set up for daily reporting.

Actual Hours

Actual Hours displays only if your timesheets are set for period reporting.
To record work time for an activity, type the total hours worked for the activity during the reporting period defined by the timesheet start and end date. The timesheet start and end dates are shown beneath the toolbar.
