Dealing with the Timesheets Intervals and Zoom options

The Administrator can define whether or not the end-user can access the Zoom and Intervals options in the Timesheet workspace, and in the Resource Validation workspace, Timesheets tab.

The Interval options allow the user to manage either weekly or monthly timesheets. This means that when submitting a timesheet, the whole time period will be submitted.

The Zoom options only impact the granularity of the displayed timesheet.

  • For the “Week” interval, the available Zoom levels are:

    • Daily – Displays one column per day of the week,

    • Weekly – Displays one column for the entire week.

  • For the “Month” interval, the Zoom levels available are:

    • Daily – Displays one column per day of the month (from 1 through 31),

    • Weekly – Displays one column per week of the month (from 1 through 31),

    • Full Weeks – Displays one column per week. If the beginning of the month does not correspond to the beginning of a week, and/or if the end of the month does not correspond to the end of the week, the remaining part(s) of the weeks will be included as well.

When the Interval Selection Setting is Off

When the Enable Interval Selection for Timesheets setting is deactivated, Default Timesheet Interval setting is available, allowing the user to define whether the timesheet is displayed with a “Week” or “Month” timeframe.

If the Default Timesheet Interval setting is set to “Week”, then the Enable Zoom Selection for Weekly Timesheets setting is available. Upon activating this setting, the user will be able to change the zoom options (“Daily” or “Weekly”).

If the Default Timesheet Interval setting is set to “Month”, then the Enable Zoom Selection for Monthly Timesheets setting is available. Upon activating this setting, the user will be able to change the zoom options (“Daily”, “Weekly”, or “Full Weeks”).

When the Interval Selection Setting is On

When the Enable Interval Selection for Timesheets setting is activated, the Enable Zoom Selection for Weekly Timesheets and the Enable Zoom Selection for Monthly Timesheets settings are available. Upon activating those settings, the user will be able to change the zoom options depending on the selected Interval.

When the Enable Zoom Selection settings are deactivated, the corresponding Default Zoom for Weekly Timesheets and Default Zoom for Monthly Timesheets are available. Each one of the settings provide a picklist so that the Administrator can select the zoom option for the Timesheet:

  • Daily or Weekly for the Weekly Timesheets

  • Daily, Weekly, or Full Weeks for the Monthly Timesheets
