Jim2® Business Engine Help File

Time Sheets is a card file 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.

View all labour related to a specific card file for a given 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.

 

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

 

The Time Sheet List will appear. To display actual labour entered for a given period or person(s), enter your selection criteria and click Run.

 

Time Sheet List

 

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.
