Once you have added tasks, the next step is to enter the time spent per day on each task. Time will either be entered in days or hours depending on your organisation’s standard. The units are shown in the text “Time in …” message below the Timesheet table on the right.
Click on the first task/date you wish to populate and then use TAB or SHIFT-TAB to move right or left through the days of the week.
The system will automatically calculate the total time spent per task, per day and per week. If you enter a value which is greater than 1 day the system will provide a warning via a red box. You can ignore this if you purposely added that value.
Notes can be included for each task if needed. To enter a note, select one of the task rows in the table (the task font should become bold) then enter the desired description in the “Note” box below the grid. If you want to include these notes in the message sent to the approver then check the “Include notes on tasks?” checkbox in the tool ribbon.
PM3time automatically saves once you enter a value. It will save values when you perform an action that communicates with the server, e.g. Add Task or choose a different week.
The “Refresh” button can be used to reset any unsaved (green) values to their original values. It will also update the “Approval Status” for a timesheet that is awaiting approval.
