New Timesheet record is created every time an activity is performed by CSR using QoS-IT or when Service Activity and / or Appointment is recorded as completed and “Q3- Appointment Timesheet” and/ or ”Q3- Non QoS-IT Service Activity Timesheet” workflows are active.

QoS-IT version 4.11 introduces new workflow and enhanced timesheet calculator to perform manually or automatically the following steps:

1. Rearranges the daily timesheet after reported time is backdated and overlaps with other previously reported times.

2. Time from midnight till first activity is presented as Before Hours while time from last activity of the day till mid night is After Hours

3. If no activity was created during whole day, the workflow splits the day into 3 components based on the workflow’s start and end times of normal working hours.

To set up normal working hours, click: Settings>Workflows>”Q4.8 – Recalculate and Update Timesheet” workflow.

Unpublish workflow.

Click Set Properties for plug-in: “QoS-IT Core: Timesheet Gap Split” and set up the daily Start Time & End time fields of the plug-in.

Save & close.

Publish workflow.

4. For debugging and / or manually perform steps 1-3 above, we also provide the following procedure:

a. Click: Workplace>Timesheet

b. Select date & click Search

c. Expand by clicking on “Timesheet Gap Details”. Each minute of the 24 hours day is displayed with either “Y” (time reported) or “N” (time not reported – time gap).

d. Scroll down the list. The button” Timegap Fix” is always displayed. If there is no activity during the day, an “Hours Split” button is also visible. These 2 buttons have the same functionality as the workflow and are only required for debugging.

It is recommended not to use the manual process described in item 4, which was designed for debugging only.

When manually updating timesheet gaps, the task pick list is read from similar attribute in the Timesheet entity. To add or remove item from pick list, click: Settings>Customization>Customize Entities>Time Sheet>Attributes>Timesheet Task (ask_timesheettask) and add remove or delete items from pick list
