Objective

To create a timesheet on your Android mobile device.

Background

In Procore, timecards and timecard entries are used to log the number of hours employees and workers spend doing work on a construction project. Each day, you will create a new daily timesheet. A daily timesheet contains the individual timecard entries submitted by your employees and workers for a specific date. By default, Procore's timecard entries track the work's cost code, work location, number of hours worked, time type (for example, regular or overtime) and mark whether or not the entry's hours are billable. A tool administrator also has the option to configure your project's timesheets to capture timekeeping data such as classifications and sub-jobs.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions
Your daily timesheet must include at least one (1) timecard entry for any worker or employee for whom you want to log time on a given date.
Each employee or worker can have multiple timecard entries on a daily timesheet.
Zero (0) hour timecard entries are supported. This provides your team with the flexibility it needs to enter time off and per diem.
You can create Project and Company level custom reports and use the Timesheets tool for source data. See Create a Custom Project Report.
'Approved' timecard entries:
- Cannot be edited in the project's Timesheets tool.
- Can only be marked as 'Completed' in the Company level Timesheets tool. Once a timecard entry has been marked as 'Completed,' edits are not permitted at the project or company level. See Edit a Time Entry in the Company Level Timesheets Tool and Edit Your Company's Timesheets in Bulk.

You can configure what items are created with the quick create icon, see Configure Quick Create Settings.

Prerequisites

Configure the project's Timesheets tool. See Best Practices For Configuring Timesheets.
