 Also available on  ios-gray-icon.jpg android-gray-icon.jpg 

Objective

To create and update timecard entries using the 'Bulk Time Entry' button in the Project level Timesheets tool. 

Background

With the Bulk Time Entry button in the Timesheets tool, you can apply the same information to the timecard entries for your crews and employees on a single timesheet. Simply select the timecard entries to modify on a timesheet and then click the Bulk Time Entry button to reveal a section that allows you to update the selected timecard entries at once. 

Example

You are a concrete foreman who wants to create timecard entries on a daily timesheet to record that all of your crew members who worked 8 hours pouring concrete. However, 2 of those crew members worked 2 hours of overtime cleaning up. 

  • Using the bulk entry options,  you can perform a bulk action to create a timecard entry for all of the crew members who worked 8 hours at one time. 
  • After completing that entry, you can use the bulk entry option again to add a line time for the two employees who worked 2 hours of overtime. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To create a timesheet and bulk edit timecard entries, 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Timesheets tool.
    • To create a timesheet and bulk edit timecard entries in any status, 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Timesheets tool.
    • To bulk edit timecard entries on an existing timesheet, 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions with the Review & Edit Timesheets granular permission on the project's Timesheets tool 
      Notes: 
  • Additional Information:
    • You can create one (1) daily timesheet per date. 
    • You can create a daily timesheet for any past, current, or future date. By default, the 'Select Date' field on the 'Create Daily Timesheet page is set to the current date. 
    • Your daily timesheet must include at least one (1) timecard entry for any worker or employee for whom you want to log time on a given date. 
    • Each employee or worker can have multiple timecard entries on a daily timesheet. 
    • Zero (0) hour timecard entries are supported. This provides your team with the flexibility it needs to enter time off and per diem. 
    • In your environment, some fields may be configured to be required, optional, or hidden. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets and Which fields in the Timesheets tool can be configured as required, optional, or hidden?
