To make Timesheet better, have some things tested and give my opinions here:
Understanding: A Timesheet is not a single log (i thought so) - it is a set of logs (in different Projects/Tasks/Issues) over a period. Example a Day, a Week, a Month. And to have a overviev about the work of the employee, the owener of one task one employee.
Following, it is nessesary to have more colums in list-view: date/period and the owner.
If the timesheet is not owned only by one person, this should also work - then the solution must be, that there is only one timesheet for the period (example given day, wekk, month) and all employees will log inside this one timesheet per period.
But i think, like realwork, it woild be the best, every employess has ist own timesheet!
Inside a database-system, it is no matter, which way - but i the list view, mor colums and filter-options are necessary.
I think, that it is not eneough, to have one global comment-field inside the timesheet. (this is the description of the task, also coming vom info-text from sales-order). I think, it is very important, that the employee will also document, what he has done in this activity-type-log. (the list)Sometimes, we have to report, what we have done in which time to a customer. For example, if we planned 4h but worked 8h, because of the conditions or problems in the job … and only to say, we worked 8h, but nobody knows what exactly was done, is a really problem.
Put in a comment field in every time-sheet-log, that the employee can write, what he has done
If i make a sales order - with the activity-types inside, i can make it as a project. All activity-types now are tasks. And every task bases on the quotation - example hours of work.
So it is necessary, to see this quotation (how many hours are planned in this task).
If now a time-sheet is open, and activity types are filled in this project/task, i need to see these hours against the planned hours.It is needed, to see, if I am inside the plan - or over.
This view is not clear
If a task is set up manually (without a sales-order before) it is clear, that there not must set up the planned hours - but it could manually filled in.
Any suggestions to my thoughts?
Best regards
