Timesheets
- Both SAVE buttons (the one on the top and the one on the bottom of the page) are grayed out after the first click from the user to either one or the other. This is to avoid any duplicate lines, in the case the user clicks both buttons.
- Back/Save/New line buttons on Timesheets: Now if a user goes into timesheet through a Closed and Complete timesheet, and then navigates to a new timesheet or an existing one that is 'open', the buttons that will be available are the 3 buttons for an Open and uncompleted timesheet (Back/Save/New line), rather than the ones that were originally available when first going in to the closed timesheet (which is only the Back button).
On the other hand, when a user goes into a timesheet through an 'Open' timesheet, and then navigates to a 'Complete and Approved' existing timesheet , the button that will be available is only the Back button, rather than the ones that were originally available when first going in to the 'Open' timesheet (Back/Save/New line).
When entering negative hours in Web timesheets, Control Parameter: 'Notes On Negative Values' will control if a note must be entered or not.
- If set to Yes then validate notes on negative values.
- If set to No, no notes are needed when entering negative values.
- Plant type jobs are now available to put time against them on Weekly and Daily web timesheets. Plant Type Code is defined in a control parameter: 'Plant Job Type'
- Disbursement activity types can be used in Weekly timesheets. Disbursement activity types in Daily timesheets were already allowed. Total disbursement quantity will not show as part of the Total summary on the bottom of the page.

-Time/Allowance Code column, next to Work Centre. This will show a TimeCode if the activity is set to ‘Use TimeCode in Timesheets’. Please use same business rules around Time Codes that is used in Daily Timesheets.
-Cost Type column, next to Time/Allowance Code column.

- TIME if the Is allowance check box is not checked on MDE
2- ALLOWANCE if the 'Is allowance' check box IS checked on MDE
3- No value (empty) if the activity does not use time codes on timesheets.
- The results on the grid must be sorted by Cost Type column in order to show first TIME, second ALLOWANCE, and the rest of the transactions with no time codes below. Showing them together will facilitate the reviewer/approver’s process.
The Total Qty for Allowances need to be clearly distinguishable (2 rows).
- Adding 1 new summary line at the bottom of the page (above the existing Total summaries) to show totals per day in quantity for Allowances. Label will be called: ‘Total Allowanced Qty’. It must only include allowances.
The existing total summary must exclude Allowances (Time activity type with Allowance TimeCode) and Disbursements (which are already excluded).

Datasheets
When opening a Datasheet from a User (in User List, Datasheet tab), a Company (from Company List, Datasheet tab), or Job (from Jobs List, Datasheet tab), the datasheet will now be opened in a new tab of the same browser, so it is easier to go back to where the user was before opening it.
Emailing Reports
An Email button has been added to the Report Rendering screen. This enables the displayed report to be emailed as a PDF attachment to a specified email address. For now only 1 email address can be entered, and cannot select from People or Users list. It will be improved on future releases.
Keep in mind that the sender ID from the user that is sending the email can be overwritten by Email Sende ID settings under Administration–> Settings:
The format of the email is provided with a template named "Report - {Report Name}" (where {Report Name} is the name of the SSRS report), or "Report - Default" if that is not specified.
E-mail templates for the reports can be found under 'Configuration' --> 'Template Management'
Template files are saved in the path where the application files are stored: /Config/Templates/ReportMessages
Templates are HTML files and the naming convention is the report name.

-Disbursement activity types, can be used in Phone Timesheets, The quantity, as it is a disbursement and not hours, will not be included in the total summary.
