Reporting on timesheets

Does anyone know a way to report on when staff have submitted their timesheets? We're switching from another system to Workfront as the source of truth for hours logged to projects. I'd like a team leader (timesheet approver) to have a report which shows the date and time of every timesheet submission so they can chat with those who are habitually late. I can play around with last note (Notes worked quite well in auditing approval flows) but it seems to me if someone adds a comment, it becomes the 'last note' and the timestamp is wrong. Any thoughts?

Barry, Thank you for your inquiry. Currently, there isn't a field in our object model that is tied to the date a Timesheet is submitted for approval (or approved). As you mentioned, there are ways to track it via Last Note or Last Update dates, but those are not consistent and can change when other users make changes/comments. The only way I can think of you tracking this in a consistent manner is probably more work than it's worth. You could always have users create Ad Hocs tasks when submitting Timesheets (or something of the sort), and then track the dates of that task. Best bet is to submit a Product Enhancement request to our Product Team for this (it's a good idea), and potentially create a process using Last Note or Last Update dates. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, Tyler
