What’s new in this release?

With this release, you can now add up to three extra job fields to Timesheets, helping you to:

  • Streamline payroll processes

  • Identify recurring causes of paused jobs

  • Improve job cost allocation

In the Timesheet Settings section in the Company Settings area (or Organization Settings), select up to three job fields, including Pause Reason, to be displayed on User Timesheets.

The selected fields will appear in PDF and CSV exports, meaning you can use the data to drive downstream payroll, billing and reporting processes.

Paused Jobs and Pause Reason

With this release, you now have better insight into Paused Jobs.

  • Timesheet Pause actions now have the label 'Job (Paused)'

  • Also, you an optionally choose to display the Pause Reason

This makes it easier to see when and why a Job was Paused instead of Completed, allowing you to identify recurring issues around business processes or employee training.

Other Job Fields

You can also include additional job fields in Timesheets to give you more information to help improve reporting, costing, payroll, and other internal processes.

How do I configure Timesheet fields?

You can select up to 3 fields to be shown in Timesheets. All Job-related fields can be selected, be they core fields or custom fields.

The following fields can be selected:

  • Core Job Fields

    • Job Description
