Timesheets

Timesheets are only available in the Diary++ add on.

Summary

Timesheets are a convenient way to enter the amount of time you have spent on various tasks (or a way to look at the time you have spent). What you see on this form is:

This probably feels like a distinctly unfriendly and "big corporate" type of form. The reason for that feeling is that it IS big corporate. It is used if:

If you are keeping a friendly little home diary, then stay clear of this form. Run for the hills! Never use it...

Entering Information

The form is straightforward to use...

The drop down box in the top left lets you select who you are entering the timesheet for. This will contain all people in the system.

Then start entering times into the grid below. The green cells show total values, so you can't type anything into them. Times are entered in hours, and you can use any of the forms:

After you move off the cell, it will convert any values in the format 1.5 to 1:30 (which is the default for JXCirrusDiary).

Once you have finished, press the Submit button. NOTE: None of the values get pushed into the diary for real until you press submit. Don't worry, it will try and not let you accidentally lose all of your new values by changing person or changing weeks - It will ask you if you want to submit before you can change.

Use the "Next Week" and "Last Week" buttons to switch between weeks. If you have changed any of the values in the timesheet, then it will ask you to submit before you change week.

NOTE: One thing to be careful of with timesheets. If you have been recording times against tasks by starting and stopping sessions, then these will show up in the timesheet. If you change any of those values through the timesheet, then your old sessions will be blown away. So, HINT, it is generally not a good idea to mix up using sessions with using timesheets - Better to use one or the other.
