Opening a Timesheet

1. Select Timesheets.
2. In the Timesheet list, select the timesheet you want to open.

   Note:

   If no timesheets are listed, none have been generated for you. Contact your P6 administrator or project manager for assistance.

3. If you are opening a timesheet for the first time, select one of the following options:

   Automatically add current activities to timesheet

   This option adds all activities you are scheduled to work on during the timesheet date range. If you want to add activities scheduled during the timesheet period, but for which you have completed your work (an Actual Finish exists for your assignment), choose the Add completed activities option.

   Manually add activities to timesheet

   Use this option to select from a list of your activities.

   Copy activities from previous timesheet This option automatically copies all activities included in the previous timesheet listed. This option is not available if the previous timesheet is Not Started.

   If you want to copy activities scheduled during the timesheet period, but for which you have completed your work (an Actual Finish exists for your assignment), choose the Copy completed activities option. An administrative setting determines whether you are allowed to report actual hours for completed activities. To add your currently scheduled activities to the new timesheet, choose the Add current activities option.

   To add the activities and the recorded hours from your previous timesheet, choose the Copy hours from previous timesheet option.

   Note:

   If a project's status has changed from active since the last timesheet, activities for that project will not be copied from the previous timesheet.

4. If you chose the Manually add activities option, the Add Existing Activity to Timesheet window opens. Select one or more activities and choose Add.

Tip:

• You can change the way the Timesheets view is grouped by selecting Group by Project, Group by WBS, or both in Preferences.
• To copy the activities and recorded hours from a previous timesheet, the previous and current timesheets must have the same number of days.
