Does Timesaver (using Listkeeper) allow you to define your own Timesheet workflow? For example, could I create a time entry form with cells customized to the data being entered?

Can I have 3 different timesheet forms? One say, for employee entry, one for job entry, etc?

Good question. The short answer is "no".

Listkeeper is used to maintain the hierarchy of employee to supervisor, employee to delegate as well as the relationships between activities, projects and tasks.

The current timesheet form that is used is standardized across Timesaver. The timesheet is theme based and thus conceivably through the usage of roles could show a customized view of the entry form for a specific role of user.

I am marking this item as a feature request as it sounds like a good idea for a future version.

Ah. I was kind of thinking like the ability to have multiple versions of a Timesheet, as some industries have different facets of business for recording time and materials.

I was just thinkng about your question a bit more.

A feature for Timesaver could be that you specify which columns of information are required through listkeeper and attach those to an activity similar in a way to how we attach tasks and projects to an activity.

We could then hide/unhide the appropriate columns depending on their association in listkeeper.
So when a user chooses an activity, the columns could automatically hide/unhide based on listkeeper's column settings for the activity.

Hmm I am new to this module so I will have to see how that works.

This would be superb, and would achieve exactly what I need. Do you know if this is on the cards at all for future updates? Unfortunately I'm not advanced enough to offer some input towards this.

EDIT: _randy, you were talking about the possibility of using roles to define who can see certain columns. Any idea how this might work or be implemented?

I think this feature request is certainly in the cards for a future release. The question becomes whether this is a customizable timesheet entry page PER role or some other combination.

My note above noted that we could potentially show a specific timesheet format for a selected activity. I suppose we could have configurations then that would be per role AND per activity to only show specific columns if need be. That would cover all of the bases.

My goal for the very immediate future is to get a good stable release of this module so that we can move forward with these types of feature updates.
