As a team member, you can report the effort you spent and
the progress you made on your assigned tasks in timesheets. You can
enter timesheets for both effort- and duration-based projects. After
you submit a timesheet, you cannot edit the timesheet entries unless
the project manager or the designated approver rejects the timesheet
and requests that you submit it again.
Before you begin
Use the My Timesheet viewlet to perform
this task. In the navigation bar, click Timesheets,
and click the My Timesheet tab.
About this task
The tasks that are assigned by your project manager are
in the My Timesheet viewlet. When project managers assign tasks, they
enter a planned start date, end date, and duration for each task.
A timesheet cannot be submitted for work that is not assigned as a
task, so team members who are not assigned a task or are unassigned
from a task cannot submit timesheets. You can be assigned to multiple
tasks that have the same name but that are for different projects.
To differentiate the tasks, click the context tree button for each
task to see which project it belongs to.
To report the time that
you worked on a task:
Procedure
- In the Timesheets view, ensure that the My Timesheet viewlet
is open.
- Select the week to edit the timesheet for.
- Select a task. To view the planned and actual
details of the task, hover the mouse pointer over the task name.
- Enter the amount of time for each day that you worked on
that task by double-clicking the field.
Note: If the current
day is in the week that a timesheet was already submitted for, the
team member cannot modify the time spent on the corresponding work
item in IBM® Rational Team Concert™.
To allow a team member to modify the time spent for a submitted timesheet
in Rational Team Concert,
the project manager must reject the timesheet.
- Update the % Complete field according
to the percentage of the task that you have completed.
- Optional: If your task requires more than the
planned effort or duration to complete, enter the additional time
in the Additional Effort column. Additional time for duration-based
projects is recorded in days; additional time for effort-based projects
is recorded in hours.
- Associate a time code with the task:
- Click the Time code column.
- Select a time code to categorize the work effort of
the team member.
- Click Assign. If the
team member reports to multiple account heads or is listed in multiple
categories. you might need more than one time code. To associate multiple
time codes, repeat step 7.
- Optional: Enter comments for your project manager:
- Hover the mouse pointer over the task and click the Timesheet
notes icon
.
- In the Submitter notes field,
enter your notes and click OK.
- To save the timesheet as a draft, click Save;
to submit the timesheet to the project manager for approval, click Submit. If the timesheet from the previous week had not yet been submitted,
it gets submitted automatically with the current week's timesheet.
Note: Project
managers can enter hours for their team members, and then approve
those timesheets. This is useful when their team members are not available
to enter and submit timesheets on time.
What to do next
You can view the tasks assigned to you from three weeks before
the actual started week until three weeks after the actual finish
week.
