Submitting timesheets
People can submit their timesheets from the Hours tab in both timesheet views:
Weekly view
List view
To submit hours, click Lock timesheets. This action submits the timesheets.
When submitting, the person selects the end date up to which they want to submit their time entries. Once submitted, all days up to that date become uneditable (locked).
Editing submitted timesheets
Users with the appropriate permissions can edit locked hours submitted by other people. If you’d need to unlock someone’s submitted ours, read this article: How to unlock a submitted timesheet.
Viewing submission status
In all time entry lists, such as:
the Project details page (for a specific project), and
the All time entries list (Sidebar → More → Time entries),
you can:
filter time entries by Submitted / Not submitted
display the Submission status as a column in the list by toggling the Status on in the display options
Tip:
You can create and pin a saved view to your sidebar, for example:
All unsubmitted time entries, grouped by person
This keeps outstanding timesheets always readily available.
Approval flows (if enabled)
If Approval Flows are enabled for the time entries submitted on the project, the submitted hours will require approval by the designated approver before they are finalized.
If approval flows are not enabled for the project, submitted timesheets are automatically accepted and simply marked as Submitted.
