Time Sheets is a cardfile-related feature that allows:

bulk updating of labour on multiple records

real-time display of added labour

totals of working hours by labour type (can be exported as an XLSX file)

updating of labour after invoicing

viewing all labour related to a specific cardfile for a specific period of time, regardless of how that time was spent.

 

Time sheets support labour on many Jim2 objects. Refer to the For field in the table below for the full list of objects.

 

Info

Note: Security can be set up for Time Sheets via Tools > Security > CardFiles > Time Sheet. The options are:

Add

Edit

View

 

Unticking any of these means that the user can still add/edit/view their own time sheets, however they will not be able to do so for other users.

 

To access time sheets, go to CardFiles > Time Sheets on the ribbon, or right click on CardFiles in the Nav Tree and select from there.

 

The Time Sheet list will appear. To display actual labour entered for a specific period or person(s), enter appropriate criteria and click Run.

 

Time Sheet List

 

When you group a time sheet list, totals will show against each user name.

Using the above information fields, Jim2 produces a list in a format that can be sorted by dragging the column header of the list to the top of the list results table.

The fields used for setting the search criteria in the header are detailed below. Leaving all fields blank will return a full list of everything.
