How to Enter Time in TTM

Time Tracking and Management allows you to enter hours spent on administrative and project tasks. You can save time entered in your timesheet each day, or enter time all at once. When you are ready, submit your timesheet to your timesheet manager for approval. To be able to enter time in a timesheet, the following requirements must be met:

Your account must be configured in the Timesheet Resources list or in the Project Management Central resources list.
A timesheet reporting period must exist for the dates you want to enter time for.

Once these requirements are met, simply browse to the timesheet you want to complete and enter time. Details about browsing to timesheets, entering time, and saving timesheets are provided below.

For information about submitting your timesheet for approval after you have entered all time for a timesheet period, see How to Submit Timesheets for Approval.
