You can enable timesheet comments in WX for a timesheet pattern so that all Team Members assigned to the pattern can add comments to their timesheets. Comments can be enabled at two levels:
-
Day Comments apply to a specific day in the timesheet.
-
Summary Comments apply to a complete timesheet period.
Comments are added as text fields, attached to the timesheet and submitted with the sheet for approval. Typically used to add a note on work completed or in progress, explain or clarify exceptional time entries, or to provide brief information on a sickness or other absence. Comments are visible in WX, in the HR Manager portal through the Timesheet Comments Related List for the timesheet, and can be included in reports.
When designing reports, bear in mind timesheet comments are related to the timesheet, not individual entries on a timesheet (time reports). Day comments include the date the comment relates to, summary comments do not have a date. If you want to associate day comments with timesheet entries (time reports), you can use the date to determine which comments relate to which timesheet entries, but there is no automatic link between an individual timesheet entry (time report) and a day comment.
Timesheet Comments in WX are enabled through Timesheet Patterns using two checkboxes:
-
Enable Day Comments
-
Enable Summary Comments
If these checkboxes are not displayed by default on the Timesheet Pattern Edit page you can add them to the page layout:
-
Go to Setup > App Setup > Create > Objects.
-
In the list of custom objects, select the label for Timesheet Pattern.
-
In the Timesheet Pattern Custom Object Definition Detail page go to the Page Layouts Related List and select Edit for the Timesheet Pattern Layout.
-
Drag and drop either or both of the fields onto the page layout:
-
Enable Day Comments
-
Enable Summary Comments
-
-
Select Save.
You can also view, enter and edit Timesheet Comments through the HR Manager portal.
