Adding Hours to Your Timesheet

Use the Timesheets application to record the hours you work on each task. You can also record hours in non-project work, and, if you are working on a project that is using workspace-level time tracking, record hours worked on that project.

Note: If your organization does not use Timesheets you may be expected to record work directly on your tasks, using the Tasks application. For more information, see Updating a Task.

to add hours to YOUR Timesheet:

Open the Timesheets application.
By default your current timesheet displays so you can update it. If you changed the default, click My Current Timesheet on the Tab toolbar to switch to your timesheet for the current time period.

Note: To add hours to a timesheet other than your current timesheet, click More Views and My Timesheets. Your ability to add hours to a timesheet depends on the status of the timesheet. For more information, see Working with My Timesheets View.

Type the number of hours you worked on each task for each day in the time period or, if you are working on a project that is using workspace-level time tracking, type the hours for the project.

Hours you enter have the following impact on these fields:
Note: The recalculations do not occur until you move to another cell on the timesheet, or click Save or Submit.

ETC (Estimate to Complete) is decremented by the number of hours entered. For more information about ETC, see ETC Overview.

To add hours to non-project work, on the View toolbar click Actions and Manage Non-Project Work. For more information, see Adding Non-Project Work to a Timesheet.
To save your hours to the timesheet, click Save.
