Entering Timesheets

Setting Name and Description

Default

Valid Ranges/Values

Users enter timesheet hours

Select 'Daily' to require all resources report their hours on a daily basis for each assigned activity. If you choose this setting, you can also specify a maximum number of hours resources can enter per day for all of their assigned activities (minimum 0.5, maximum 24). For example, if you set this value to 12, for all of the resource's activities, a resource cannot report more than 12 hours per day.

Select 'By Reporting Period' to require that all resources report their hours as a single time value for each assigned activity in a timesheet reporting period, regardless of the number of days included in the timesheet period.

Note: If there is a discrepancy between the number of decimal places you enter in the 'Maximum hours a resource can enter per day' and 'Number of decimal digits for recording hours in timesheets' fields, the values a user enters in a timesheet field might round up or down. The rounding of values is for display purposes only; the entered value is stored in the database. For example, if you specify 10.5 as the maximum hours per day but specify 0 (zero) as the maximum number of decimal places for recording hours in Timesheets, the value will round up to 11 in the timesheet. Since the value 10.5 is stored in the database, the resource does not exceed the maximum hours per day setting.
