Edit timesheet information

Last update: August 28, 2023

CREATED FOR:

  • User

As a user with administrative access to Timesheets, you can edit information on existing timesheets in Adobe Workfront . For example, you can edit the Owner, the Approvers, or the time frame of the timesheet.

You can edit information on a single timesheet, or you can edit multiple timesheets in bulk.

IMPORTANT
If users are associated with Timesheet Profiles and the timesheets are automatically generated, the changes you make to existing timesheets do not reflect on timesheets that will be generated for future dates. All timesheets generated automatically have the settings established in the Timesheet Profiles. For more information, see Create timesheet profiles

Edit timesheets

  1. Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, then click Timesheets.

    The All filter is selected by default which displays all the timesheets that you have access to view.

  2. (Optional) Click the search icon and type a keyword and search for a specific timesheet. For example, you can search for a timesheet time frame or owner name.

  3. (Optional) Do one of the following to update the filter in the list of timesheets:

    • Select My Timesheet Approvals in the upper-right corner of the page to view only timesheets that you approve

      Or

      Select My Timesheets to view only your timesheets.

      This applies the My Timesheet Approvals or the My Timesheet filters to the list of timesheets.

    • Click the Filter icon to apply a different filter, or create a new one. For information about creating or updating filters, see Create or edit filters in Adobe Workfront.

    NOTE
    The My Timesheet Approvals and My Timesheets options do not display at the top of the timesheet list or in the list of filters if your Workfront administrator or a group administrator removed the My Timesheet Approvals and the My Timesheets filters from either the List Controls in the Setup area or from your Layout Template. For more information see the following articles:

  4. (Optional) Click the View or Grouping icons to apply a different view or grouping or to create a new one.

    For information about creating filters, views, or groupings, see the following articles:

  5. Select one or several timesheets, then click the Edit icon at the top of the timesheet list.

  6. View or specify the following information:

    Owner

    This is the name of the user for which the timesheet was created. You cannot edit this field.

    The field does not display when you select multiple timesheets.

    Start DateThis is the start date of the timesheet.
    End DateThis is the end date of the timesheet.
    Status

    This is the status of the timesheet. The following are possible timesheet status options:

    • Open: The timesheet is open and hour entries can be edited.
    • Submitted: The timesheet is submitted for approval to the designated approvers.
    • Rejected: The timesheet was not approved by the approvers and is now available again for the user to edit the time entries.
    • Closed: The timesheet is either closed by the user or approved by the approver and as a result, it is now closed. You cannot add time to a closed timesheet.
    Approvers

    Approvers are users who approve the timesheet for the users associated with the timesheet. Only users with administrative access to Timesheets can be set as approvers.

    For more information about timesheet administrative rights, see Grant users administrative access to certain areas.

    Start entering the names of the timesheet approvers and select them when they appear in the list.

    You can have multiple approvers on a timesheet. In this case, after one of the approvers approves the timesheet, the timesheet is marked as Closed and it disappears from the timesheet approvals list of all the remaining approvers.

    Can edit time

    Select this option if you want to allow approvers to edit hours on the timesheet.

    This option is not available when you select multiple timesheets.

    Overtime

    You can choose to hide the Overtime box on the timesheet.

    This option is disabled by default.
