My Timesheet Display Settings

My Timesheet has a responsive user interface so as to prevent vertical scroll-bars for a minimum 1280 screen width and 100% resolution. All key information is visible without the need to scroll vertically.

Furthermore, the New Timesheet Default view Display adds extra padding between visual elements of the page to allow for a better user experience. However, if you prefer a more compact experience, you can modify your view from the Display Settings, accessed through the Timesheet context menu.

The available Vertical Density view options to are:

  • Default
  • Comfortable
  • Compact

Furthermore, In addition to the Vertical Density, Users of a Monthly Template can also choose a preferred Horizontal Density. The available options for the Horizontal Density are:

  • Comfortable
  • Compact

Overall Usability in Monthly View

The Monthly view in the New Timesheet provides a seamless experience for entering and navigating time. With features like stable visibility of the selected day in the Compact Horizontal Density layout, automatic display of hidden Time Entry cells, and a Period View that starts from the first day if today’s date is outside the current period, the layout ensures easy access and focus. When today’s date falls within the period, it loads in view immediately, allowing quick and efficient time entry without manual adjustments.

When using the Compact Horizontal Density layout, the Timesheet view now remains stable and does not shift past the selected day when opening the right panel such as the Notes panel. This keeps the day you are working on in view, making it easier to enter or edit Notes without losing track of your selected date.

When attempting to enter Time for a day that is currently hidden from view, the timesheet will now automatically bring that cell into viewpoint. This improvement ensures that you can seamlessly enter Time for any day, even if it was initially off-screen.

If today’s date is not part of the current Timesheet Period, the timesheet will now automatically start from the first day of the Period. This allows you to easily access and review the entire Period without needing to scroll or search for the beginning of the timeframe.

If today’s date falls within the current Timesheet Period, then today’s date is immediately visible in the viewpoint upon initial load. This makes it more convenient for you to enter Time for the current day without needing to navigate manually.
