You can now save a Redwood time card as a named template. You can apply the template to your Redwood time cards with the same assignment ID and layout set ID as the template.

As soon as you have at least 1 template, you'll see the Apply Template action above the time card grid. When you apply a template, it's appended to the time card starting at the next blank row. Templates won't overwrite any existing entries on the time card. Because templates are appended, you can apply multiple templates to a single time card.

The day entries of start, stop and quantity are applied from template day 1 to time card day 1, template day 2 to time card day 2, and so on until all days entries are applied. If the time card periods for the template and time card don't match in duration, such as both weekly or biweekly, the day entries might not align with the work days.

You can always clear any changes to the time card since the most recent save by clicking the Clear Time Card icon.

Then save the time card as a template by selecting an existing template name. Currently, you can't rename templates. So consider naming templates in a way that's still meaningful if you overwrite them.  For example, you could name a template Current Working Projects or Current.

Tips And Considerations

Any comments, holidays, and absence aren't saved in the template because they're unique to that time card period. You won't have to manually delete these comments and entries from any time cards you apply the template to.

Only you have access to your templates. Your line manager and any time and labor managers accessing your time cards don't have access to your templates.
