How to complete my timesheet
This help page only concerns you if you use the timesheet.
The timesheet offers days in columns.
If you only see days in lines, it's that you use the Timesheet line menu.
You can enter your activity in the Activities > Timesheet/Timesheet line menu.
This screen allows you to declare your activity over a whole month.
At the top of the screen, you will find the validation status of your timesheet. You will also find functions for editing the timesheet in order to have them signed by your customers and a button to load the signed and scanned file for example.
Then, you find a table wich represents the days in columns and a row by activity carried out in the month.
Screen actions
Global actions
For a month that has never been opened or saved, a line is present with 0 days or hours indicating that no activity is entered (the name of the item can be configured).
To add a first activity line, all you have to do is to click on the Add an activity line button. You can then indicate the load, in days or hours, for each day of the month.
Replicate the items from the previous month
To have access to this functionality, you must have the active right 'Administration > Security Groups > Activities > Be able to replicate the sections declared for the previous month in the current month.
This function allows you to duplicate the activities of the previous month. Only the titles of internal sections and / or unfinished business are duplicated. The timesheet will not be completed (this action will remain the responsibility of the employee).
Actions for updates lines
Actions on each row
Delete row
Allows you to delete a line and therefore the activity that is concerned.
Clear the time spent on this activity
Allows to empty the entire activity line.
Complete the month with this activity
Allows employees to enter their activity all at once for a business that lasts at least one month. So you cannot use this action when you have different activities during the same month.
Actions on each time entry cell
In a cell, several actions are possible.
A comment can be indicated on each cell. Click on the button circled in pink in the screenshot above and enter your comment in the input box. Click outside this area to exit. The box where the comment has been filled in is colored in orange.
If several comments are associated with a row, you can find the overall summary in the column “Activities carried out”.
\\For each cell, you can indicate whether it is an activity practiced all day, in the morning or after midday. Click the circled button in the screenshot above and choose the time from the drop-down list.
For each cell, depending on your rights, you will be able to consult / modify your work schedules and your lunch break.

You can read the month displayed above the timesheet.
If the month is not the one you want, you can change it using the filter.
If the filter is not open, unfold it by clicking on the funnel.
Then select the desired month and year, then click on Apply filter.
Time allocation for each activity
For a line of activity, it's necessary to enter the time spent on each day.
Several input options are possible depending on the rights assigned to you :
- Fill in an internal activity
- Fill in an internal project
- Enter an absence (reminder: you can also make your absence requests from the Human ressources screen : Human resources > My absence requests)
- Fill in a client (mission carried out on which you have been assigned)
If you choose absence, you must select the type of absence.
If you choose a client, you must select the mission.
Important : Pay attention to the business section on which you enter your time because several lines may be displayed.
Wrong entry = possible billing errors.
The entry unit is indicated below each box to be filled in, it can be days or hours. Decimals are allowed to indicate fractions of days or hours.

As soon as a modification has been made, the Save button turns orange and if you try to exit the screen, you are warned by a dialog box that unsaved modifications have been made. The modified cells also take an orange color background.
