Timesheets Page

Overview

Use this page to specify default timesheet options and approval levels for the P6 Progress Reporter application.

Screen Elements

General Settings:

New resources use timesheets by default option

Determines whether to require that all new resources use timesheets, unless you specify otherwise.

Resources can assign themselves to activities by default option

Determines whether you want every newly created project to grant permission for resources to assign themselves to activities. When you change this setting, it does not affect existing projects; the new setting is applied only when a new project is created. For individual projects, you can override this setting on the Project Preferences dialog box in the EPS page.

Enable timesheet auditing option

Determines whether you want to save the history of timesheet submission, approval, rejection, reviewers, and associated dates. To view the historical data, you must create reports using BI Publisher.

Timesheet Approval Level:

Auto Submission - No submission or approvals is required

Select to indicate that resource timesheets do not need to be submitted or approved.

Auto Approval - Automatically approve upon submission

Select to indicate that resource timesheets do not require management approval. Timesheets are approved automatically when they are submitted.

One approval level - Resource manager approval required

Select to indicate that resource timesheets require approval by the resource manager only. If you select this option, the status of all submitted timesheets remains Submitted until the approving manager changes the timesheet’s status. If you previously required both project manager and resource manager approval, and you select this option, the status of all current timesheets that have received one level of approval changes to Approved.

Two approval levels - Project and Resource managers' approval required

Select to indicate that resource timesheets require approval by project and resource managers. If you select this option, the status of all submitted timesheets remains "Submitted" until both managers approve the timesheet.

Project manager must approve before Resource manager option

Determines whether project managers must approve timesheets before resource managers. The Two Approval Levels option must be selected to enable this option.

Default Resource manager approving timesheets when one or two approval levels required

Select the approver you want to approve timesheets for resources. The default approver will be assigned each time you create a resource who uses timesheets.
