A workspace admin turns on Timesheets in the App Library (grid icon in the left sidebar). Search for Timesheets and turn on the toggle. To pin the app to your sidebar, click the pin icon on its card.
Populating your Timesheet
When your workspace’s Automatically fill from setting is Time recorded from action cards, recorded action time automatically appears in your Timesheet.
Projects with assigned work this week
Your Timesheet also shows a row for each project where you have assigned work in the selected week. This applies to all Automatically fill from settings. A workspace admin can turn these rows off for the workspace (see Show or hide projects with assigned work).
An action counts as assigned work when you are an assignee and the action’s dates are in the week. The start date, the due date, or the time between them must be in the week.
The new row is blank and has no category. Hive does not add hours. Enter the hours that you worked.
If the project already has a row in your Timesheet for that week, Hive does not add a second row. Hive also does not add a row when you logged time on an action card in that project that week. Your saved rows, categories, and hours do not change.
Submitting Timesheet by Project
Use this method if you enter hours directly into your Timesheet instead of tracking time on action cards or using Resource Assignments. If your admin has turned on Only allow project time linked to action cards, add your hours to an action row instead of a project or category row.
First, select the week you would like to add time for using the week selector on the top right.
To add time to your timesheet, you must first select the project you will be entering time against. Click the + Add time button below your Timesheet rows, then search for the project or select it in the list. Sub-projects are listed under their parent project. You can select more than one project (or leave type) at once. Then click Add.
Next, add in the hours for each day you worked on that project. Click a day's cell, type the hours (for example 7:30), and press Tab to move to the next day. You will see the weekly total hours for each row under the Total column.
In the Total column, the number on the left is the hours you logged. The number on the right is the hours you were Resourced or Estimated for. If your workspace fills the Timesheet from Resource Assignments, the hours assigned to you for a day also show under that day's cell.
To add a comment to a day's hours, double-click the cell.
If your organization uses Time Categories to segment and classify your hours worked, you will add each category and log time in the row of the category. If there is no category for time, you will just input any time logged for the project on the "No category" row. To add a category, click the ⊕ icon next to the project name. Select one or more categories, then click Submit.
You can also see the total hours logged for each day in the Total row at the bottom of the Timesheet.
Find rows in your Timesheet
Expand all and Collapse all show or hide the category and action rows under each project. You can also use the arrow next to a project or category.
Use the All rows menu to show only rows With time or Without time this week.
Type in Search timesheets to find a project, category, or action row by name.
Why is a project on my timesheet that I did not add?
You are an assignee on an action in that project, and the action’s dates are in the selected week. Hive adds the project so that you can enter your time for that work. Completed actions and private actions that are assigned to you also count. Hive adds only projects that you can open. It does not add archived projects, templates, or projects that are not in the Available projects list (Timesheet settings > Projects).
The row does not add hours. If you did not work on the project, leave the row blank. This row has no Delete row option. If the row has no hours, it goes away when the action’s dates move out of the week or when you are no longer an assignee. If your team does not want these rows, ask a workspace admin to turn off Show projects with assigned work this week in Timesheet settings > General > Prefill settings.
Submitting Timesheet by Action Card's Time Tracking
This method is used when you DO track time in an action card but DO NOT use assignments in the Resourcing app.
Tracking Time in Action Card for Timesheet
If you do not want to track the times manually in the Timesheet, you can log the time in the action card, and that time will automatically appear in the Timesheet for that week.
To make an action card appear in the Timesheet, the workspace admin must set Automatically fill from to Time recorded from action cards (Timesheets > settings gear > Prefill settings).
Then open or create an action card and click Add time in Time-tracking. Enter the time, choose the date and the person, add a category and a description (optional), and click Add time.
Now, any time that gets tracked in the action card will appear in the Timesheet automatically!
Tracking Time in Timesheet into Action Card
To add an existing action card to the Timesheet, click Add action under the rows of a project or category. In the Add actions to Timesheet window, search for the action card, select it, and click Add action. This link shows when your workspace fills the Timesheet from Time recorded from action cards.
Enter your hours in the action row before submitting your Timesheet. If your workspace uses Time recorded from action cards, those hours also appear in the action card’s time tracking.
Why can’t I enter time in a project or category total?
If your admin has turned on Only allow project time linked to action cards, add your project hours to the relevant action row. You can view project and category totals, but you can’t edit them directly or use Add other time. You can still enter leave and PTO.
If Show only top-level actions in Timesheets is enabled, subactions are hidden when you search for actions to add.
Removing actions and deleting logged time
When your Timesheet uses Time recorded from action cards, a trash icon shows at the end of an action row when you hover over it. The icon does one of two things:
Remove action from Timesheet: use this to remove an action you added but haven’t logged time against yet. The action card is kept.
Delete action time: use this to delete logged hours for the selected person, action, category, and week. Those hours are removed from both the Timesheet and the action card’s time tracking. The action card is kept.
For example, if you delete your 3 hours on an action in the Design category for this week, only those 3 hours are removed. Time logged by other people, in other categories, or in other weeks is kept.
Check that you have selected the right person and week. Then review the action, category, and dates in the confirmation before clicking Delete time.
You can delete your own time, or a workspace admin can delete it for you. In either case, the person deleting it needs permission to edit time on the action. You can’t delete action time while its Timesheet is pending approval, approved, or locked.
Submitting Timesheet by Resource Assignment
This method is used when you DO NOT track time in an action card but DO use assignments in the Resourcing app.
If you want the Resourcing App's assignment to automatically get populated in the Timesheet, the workspace admin must set Automatically fill from to Assigned hours in Resource Assignments.
Now, the user can go to the Resourcing App, create a Resource Assignment for a user, choose a project, enter appropriate hours, and confirm the hours, then the Assignment will show up in the user's Timesheet!
Tip: To save some time, you can select the "Fill resource assignment hours" option to pre-fill cells with your Resourced hours. Please note, this will clear out any previous unsubmitted entries in those cells and will replace the values with the pre-fill values.
Submit your timesheet
Once you have filled in your timesheet for the week, click Submit. Each project's time settings decide who approves your hours: your Manager(s) from My profile, or the Project Owner.
Only workspace admins can change the Manager(s) field. Admins can select themselves.
To change who approves a project's timesheets, open Edit project > Time and set Who should approve timesheets from this project? to Project Owner or Manager. Only project owners and admins can change it. New projects start with the workspace default, Who approves submitted timesheets (Timesheet settings > Approvals and reporting).
To change hours after you submit, click Undo submission (↺) next to the button, edit your entries, and submit again. You can undo until your approver approves the timesheet.
View submitted hours
After you submit, the Approval column shows each row's status: Pending approval, Approved, or Changes requested. To read your approver's comment, click the comment icon on the row. Workspace admins can see every decision in the Approvals log (clipboard icon).
You can't edit an approved timesheet. If your approver requests changes, correct your entries and click Submit again.
If you need to correct approved hours, contact your workspace admin. They can correct the hours in your submitted Timesheet without changing the time recorded on the action card.
Print your Timesheet
If you rely solely on Timesheets to process payroll, you can easily print your Timesheets.
To print a Timesheet, open the Timesheet tab and press Command + P (Mac) or Ctrl + P (Windows). Hive opens the print dialog with a printer-friendly version of the Timesheet for the person and week you have selected. From there, print it or save it as a PDF.
