The
purpose of Timesheet is to record the log time for any task that is
being taken up/assigned by/to the members in a project. This is
required in order to calculate the total man hours that is expended for
a project and for billing purposes by the client.Under this module, the user can view the details of number of hours spent over various tasks by using the following views:
List view
This
view shows the list of tasks, the task list to which it belongs to,
date, number of hours spent on the particular task, the owner of the
task and any notes that have been added for reference.
- Overview : To see all the tasks and their individual log time of users
- By user : To group various tasks based on user name and show the time taken for each task
- By date : To sort the tasks in order based on dates of individual tasks
Calendar view
This
view shows the monthly calendar view and shows the log time of
activities for respective days. It also displays the sum total of hours

the user name from the drop down list.

Is there any way that I -as a project manager and administrator- can log hours for contractors? I mean, without them having to log in and input the hours themselves?
Thank you in advance.
No, its not possible for project manager or administrator to log hours for contractors or any other user.
i.e. Project Members can log time only for the tasks they worked on and not for other members.
Thank you for your answer. I have another question.
Can I see a timesheet that has the log hours for ALL users at once?
No, its not possible to view timesheet that has log hours for all users at once. You can only view timesheet data for each user separately.
You should be able to print an 'all users' summary timesheet report. If you want it to be useful for a business!
@brent_hopkins,
Thanks for your feedback. Printing "all users" summary timesheet report will be added in our feature list and will be provided in future as per the priority.
Thanks for your patience until then.
Is there a way to get timesheet values for tasks to reflect the % complete element of a task?
C.Grey,
No, as of now, it is not possible to alter the task % complete with the help of time sheet value for that particular task. Task % complete has to be manually altered by the task owner.
Do you provide a method to upload/import timesheet values from any format?
@omcdonald,
Currently, importing time sheet values from any format into the timesheet module is not possible in Zoho Projects.
Uploading the time sheet file of any format into documents is possible, which will be maintained in the documents module of the projects and will not be reflected in the time sheet module of that project.
To upload in documents module, go to the required project --> click 'Documents' tab and upload the file.
