Setting up timesheet templates
A timesheet template is a group of timesheet settings that is assigned to users. Each timesheet user must be assigned a timesheet template in their user profile before they can record time they spent working.
Templates allow you to manage different settings for different types of users. For example, you might want to allow only a certain set of users to enter time against projects. In this case, you could create a timesheet template with project options enabled, and assign it to that set of users.
Default timesheet templates are available that you can use or edit to meet your requirements. You can also create as many new templates as you need.
What timesheet formats are available?
When you create a template, you may need to choose which timesheet format to base the template on. The available formats depend on when you started using Replicon.
