A time request adds time you worked away from the tracker to your timesheet once it is approved. Who adds time directly and who requests it is set in Settings > Timesheets > Added Time.
Who adds time and who requests it
Two settings on the Added Time tab decide it.
| Setting | The selected member types |
|---|---|
| Who can edit time | Add, edit and delete time on their timesheet, with no approval |
| Who can request time | Send a time request, which an approver accepts or rejects |
A member type in neither list has no way to add time and sees no Add time button. A member type that edits time cannot be selected for requests. The Workspace Owner always edits time directly.
A workspace that has never saved Who can request time keeps the earlier rule: every member type not selected under Who can edit time can request time.
Request time
- Go to Timesheets > Time Requests.
- Click Add time at the top right, then Time.
- Choose the date, the project and the task, set the start and end time, and write a description. Add time under the times adds another period to the same request.
- Click Request.
The form is titled Request time. A member type that edits time directly sees Add Time and Add instead, and the time goes to the timesheet at once.
Your request waits on the Pending tab until an approver accepts or rejects it. It then moves to Approved or Rejected, and approved time appears on your timesheet.
Approve or reject a request
Member types selected under Who can approve other’s time requests? see every member’s requests on Timesheets > Time Requests, filtered by member, project, team, title and date, and approve or reject them there.
Request time from the desktop app
In the desktop app, open the add and edit time section, the one with the time icon, and click Request time. A member type that edits time directly sees Add time.
To add time for one project or task, click the pencil icon next to the project and fill in the form.
