umair, thank you for your quick reply, I am interested in working with you on the scope and mocks to improve timesheets. Thank you for your patience, I was needing some free time to make a proper reply.
I would be most interested in a timer feature from kanban and task views:
- starts and re-starts a timesheet entry with a timer from the task view,
- add a play/start button on the kanban card,
- optional to keep cumulative time with one entry without timestamp, collect timestamps by task under one entry similar to clockify.me, or have every timestamp be it’s own entry on the timesheet
- show the active timer in the header / top bar of any ERPNext page
- with a text box for keeping a note for the active entry at the header / top bar next to the active timer.
I mostly work from the kanban view on any project, and would love to be able to keep track of time without having to leave the kanban of the project. These features above are all things my ERPNext programmer on fiverr said was possible. Please let me know if this is the right place to work with you on this feature.
I don’t think the grid view I shared would be a good fit for everyone,
- it would have to break the ‘from time’ and ‘to time’ tracking that others depend on,
- it would make the form too wide fitting all the columns needed
I think the timer idea above would be better anyway. The grid view I shared is a typical way that engineering offices keep track of time because it’s simple, we ignore the timestamp level of detail. We only care about the quantity of hours, not the time in which it occurs, so I turn off the conflict check here: Timesheet only hrs and date (no from - to time) - #9 by Eli. Much of the time it takes to do timesheets is in the setup of the project names and tasks being worked on, having to replicate this every day is the tedious part, since projects last weeks and months this setup can be used for multiple days just adding time as needed without having to re-select project and task every day.
