This article details the timesheet options through the Options tab of the Timesheet Template Edit page.

Available options

Time Entry Units defines how to display the time entries to the user

When choosing Hours select as Time Span or Decimal:
- Hours as Time Span displays the entries in HH:MM format (default)
- Hours as Decimal displays the entries in decimal format
When choosing Days in Decimal format, the time entry value can capture up to four decimal places.
Example:
A User has an 8 hours/day timesheet template assigned.
- User enters 0.125 for 1 hour of work on Monday.
- User enters 0.4375 for 3.5 hour of work on Wednesday.
When choosing Percentage in Decimal format, Users can enter time in percentage format. When the User enters a Percentage, that value is converted into hours.
Example:
A User has an 8 hours/day timesheet template assigned.
- Entering 25% as Time Entry on Monday will be converted to 2 hours (25% of 8 hours)
- Entering 125% as a Time Entry on Tuesday will be converted to 10 hours (125% of 8 hours)

Note:

When enforcing a daily/weekly/periodical minimum/maximum of x percentage (Time Entry Units in Percentage), and the minimum/maximum is not fulfilled, an error message displays without specifying any value, simply stating that the minimum/maximum rules have not been met.
When the period type is set to Monthly or Semi-Monthly, the Time Entry Units are set to Hours and disabled and the format is set to Time Span and disabled. When the Show In/Out Timesheet option is selected, the Time Entry Units are set to Hours and disabled and the format is set to Time Span and disabled.
