Revamp Timesheet Section UI

Right now, if you click "Timesheet" in the navigation menu, you will enter your current timesheet by default, but it is not obvious where the rest of the previous timesheets live.

"Back to Timesheets" is not obvious, and the extra step doesn't make a lot of sense if you are a timesheet approver or plan on submitting last week's timesheet on Monday.

Please revamp the interface for the Timesheet area to be more navigable and user friendly.

I get not too infrequent queries from users about how they go back to their existing timesheets -- I have to tell them to "click on the tiny 'Back to Timesheets' link at the top". Can this link be rendered in a slightly bigger font please?

Same with the "Back to Search" link when clicking on a project after searching.

My team has the same use case as David Gutzmann's bullet point #2.

As well, I'd like users to be able to navigate to the next or previous timesheet directly from their current timesheet. I recommend adding arrows in the highlighted boxes in the attached image.

This causes a lot of confusion for my users. Back To Timesheets is not the intuitive choice for finding past timesheets or searching on timesheets.

Users feel like they are already on their timesheets. Back To Timesheets implies it's going to take them back to where they already are.

Agreed. I'd love to see the following UI enhancements.

1. A similar tab structure to what's available on the rest of the pages. A tab for current week, a tab for timesheet list, a tab for timesheet approvals (for those who need to approve timesheets) and a tab for the All Timesheets administrative search.

2. Visual enhancement on the timesheet itself, subtly highlighting every 3rd row (or something similar) so that the user has a clear visual line to follow to make sure they're logging time to the correct item on their timesheet. We have a large list of general hours and some projects with multiple tasks that will be running concurrently and have some users assigned to multiples. This would help them track and get time added appropriately.

3. The ability to add custom "general hours" groupings. I'd like to be able to rename "general hours" to something else. I'd like to be able to add additional sections like that. We have a large general hours area currently that would be better served broken up.
