We have created a script for the browser add-on "Tampermonkey" that takes of a couple of things on the timesheet page:

  • Highlight any entries without a comment
  • Enforce 0,25 steps for hour entries
  • Allow for dot and comma as separator
  • Block the Close button as long as there are any entries without a comment
  • Display the Customer name next to the project name
  • Deactivated fields for tasks that are set to complete
  • Show normtime for that timesheet based on the user's schedule (and show delta to total hours)
  • ...

Those are awesome improvements. Some of that's exactly what I'd like to see Workfront incorporate into their tool.

Thank you David: please consider your elegant idea snitched for a future release of our UberTimesheet solution.

Along the same lines, we recently enhanced it to include a quick filter (e.g. type in a search string to then reduce the visible timesheet rows to show only those that match); and added a "time spreader" feature, whereby a user can enter the total number of hours they worked on a given day, click the checkbox beside those Tasks they worked on that day, and then "spread" those hours evenly across those tasks.

Regards,

Doug

Hi Doug, I appreciate how speedy you are hopping on these posts with solutions. However, we already invest enough money into Workfront and have no interest in paying another $12k a year for a 3rd party solution when Workfront should just make this an update.

Hi David, would this help in the meantime? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workfront-highlighter/kadjcbfdbnadgekfjjkiebkiakcjfeje

One of our developers created it to add as an extension to our browsers. Hope you can access it.

I could go either way on this. Most of my team has just a few tasks, at most, under each project at any given time. So their timesheets are sufficiently highlighted with the project name.

I, however, have a ton of tasks and issues under 1 particular project and would greatly benefit from every other row highlighting.

So ultimately, I think I would say if a project shows more than 3 tasks and/or issues then highlighting would be nice.
