# Enter Timesheet

| **Tip**: Simply enter .25 (1/4 hour) or .75 (3/4 hour) to log 15 minutes! |
| --- |

Teambook allows any user (whatever his/her role) to enter the time actually spent performing activities ("timesheet"), so to enable activity tracking and potentially use this information for billing purposes. 

To enter timesheets, select the menu **Timesheet.** *Note that users with planner & admin roles have access to a toggle switch **on the top right** giving access to an* [*approval submenu*](https://kb.teambookapp.com/en/article/approve-timesheet) *further to the timesheet entry screen.*

On the top left, the curent period is displayed (and you may use the arrows to switch to another one); Next to this are the number of hours entered for the period displayed, the number of hours approved and finally the total available (based on your [exact personal schedule](https://kb.teambookapp.com/en/article/handle-part-time-employees)).

There are two ways to enter timesheet:

### 1\. Copy the planning information into Timesheet; then amend only the records that need to 

For organizations that have a very accurate planning process, whereby the users mostly tend to deliver what was planned, it could be worth to use **the planning information to pre-fill the timesheets.** 

This **copy** feature is available to all users. For users with an admin or planner role, use the **copy** button within the approval screen, so to **copy data for all users or selected teams**:![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/4b74188c-fcad-44d2-b21e-3a3b2131bd9d)

And every user can also copy his/her own planning data, using the **Copy** button available in the timesheet entry menu: ![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/43b3355d-5252-45b0-a201-54eec90b2135)

Once data has been copied, you may **in a second step edit any of the copied entries** as per instructions below   
 

### 2\. Manual timesheet entry

Your **visual settings** impact the timesheet entry screen; you may change them using the "eye icon" located next to the time sheet switcher. In particular the toggle **Time sheet by project** that is activated by default, shows a screen pre-filled with the recently used projects. If unticked, the screen will show a calendar view.

The *Timesheet by Project view* will allow you to very quickly enter timesheet, by simply entering figures (or over-writting pre-filled data). There is no obligation to fill-in additional information like tasks, payroll items and/or notes. Note that if want to assign a 2nd task, payroll item or comment for a record, you may do so by using the **Add another log** button.

In the *Calendar view* you have to click on **+log time (or anywhere in the cell of the given day)** on any of the day and then fill-in all details. Note that Teambook will show **Suggested projects** (based on the most recent ones) so to ease data entry:
