Timesheets
The Timesheets feature allows you to track the time you spend working on stories, backlog items, tests, tasks, and other work items. Submit timesheets weekly for manager approval to maintain accurate project records and support reporting.
Who uses Timesheets: Team Members log time spent on work items and submit weekly for approval. Managers approve submitted timesheets for direct reports. Administrators assign manager relationships and configure timesheet settings.
Permission requirement: All members can access their own timesheets. To submit timesheets, you must have an assigned manager (contact your administrator if missing). Managers need approval permissions to review team timesheets.
Access Timesheets
To access your timesheet:
- Click the hamburger menu
> Rooms > My Room > Timesheet - Select a project from the Project Navigator
- Use the left and right arrows to navigate between weeks
The Timesheet page provides a live view where all changes are automatically saved as you work.
How Timesheets Work
The timesheet workflow includes these key steps:
- Add work items — Add stories, tasks, and other items you want to track time against
- Enter hours — Log time spent on each item throughout the week
- Submit for approval — Send your completed timesheet to your manager
- Manager approval — Your manager reviews and approves your submitted hours
For step-by-step instructions, see Manage Timesheets.

Requirements
To submit timesheets, you must have an assigned manager. If you don't see a Submit button on your timesheet, contact your administrator to assign a manager to your account. For details, see Assign Managers to Members.

Troubleshooting
Can't submit timesheet—Submit button missing
You must have an assigned manager to submit timesheets. Contact your administrator to assign a manager to your account. See Assign Managers to Members for details.
Work items don't appear in my timesheet
Ensure the work items are in the project you've selected in the Project Navigator. Use the search function to find items by ID or title. If you still can't find items, verify you have permission to view the project they belong to.
Time entries don't save or disappear
Timesheet changes save automatically as you type. If entries disappear, ensure you're entering numeric values in the correct format (no text characters). Check your network connection—lost connectivity can prevent auto-save from working.
Can't edit timesheet after submitting
You can edit timesheets even after submission. Open the timesheet and make your changes—they'll save automatically. If your manager has already approved the timesheet, contact them to discuss any necessary corrections.
Timesheet shows incorrect total hours
Daily and weekly totals calculate automatically based on your entries. Verify that all entries are in the correct day columns. If totals still appear incorrect, try refreshing the page. Contact your administrator if the issue persists.
