Start by enabling Timesheets in Hive Apps, by clicking on Apps shown here!

"Timesheets" can be toggled on by workspace admins. Once enabled, the application can be pinned to the left-hand navigational panel by clicking the pushpin in the corner of the app icon.

Filling out your timesheet 

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. To do so, click the + Add time button and search for the appropriate project. 

Next, add in the appropriate hours for each day you worked on that project. you will see the weekly total hours for that project under Total on the right.

The number on the left is hours you have logged and the number on the right is hours you were resourced for.   

Note: The resourced hours will show on your timesheet at the Total if you have been allocated on a project in the Resourcing App of Hive.


If your organization is using 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.  Use the '+' icon next to the project name to select the category

You can also see the total hours logged for each day at the bottom of the columns for the days. 

Tip: To save some time, you can select the option to pre-fill cells with your allocated hours or time recorded on action cards (depending on which source your workspace has selected in Timesheets settings). 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, you will submit the timesheet for approval using the Submit for approval button. Your Timesheet will route for approval to whoever is listed as your manager in Your Profile or the project owner depending on your project's time settings.

*Note - Admins can select themselves as Managers to approve their Timesheets!

Project's timesheet settings:

View submitted hours

Once your approver has either approved or required changes to your timesheet, you will see all activity on your timesheets in the Approvals Log.

Once the timesheet is approved, it will be locked from editing. If your manager has rejected your initial submission, you will need to correct your entries and submit once more.

Print your Timesheet

If you rely solely on Timesheets to process payroll, you can easily print your Timesheets.

To print a Timesheet, click the arrow icon at the top right corner of the page (or use the Command/Ctrl + P hotkeys). The current selected user and week will generate a printer-friendly PDF of the Timesheet.
