RESOURCE TIMESHEETS

Resource timesheets allow users to accurately record the amount of time spent on specific projects and tasks. Resource timesheets focus on the actual time spent on a task, as opposed to resource scheduling which helps you map out the estimated amount of time each task will take, ahead of time.

Resource Guru offers both resource timesheets and resource scheduling as part of our software, and they work seamlessly together. Time you input into your resource schedule is auto-suggested in your resource timesheets, which you can then edit or remove to reflect how you actually spent your time.

Resource Guru’s Timesheets are available on our Blackbelt and Master plans, but new customers can try them for free by signing up for a 30-day trial.

To create an account, you’ll be asked to provide some basic information, like your name, email address, and password. But you don’t have to enter any credit card details to proceed.

Once you’ve created your account, look for Timesheets in the main navigation. You can enable Timesheets directly there, or you can turn them on from Settings. With Timesheets activated, your team can start logging their time in the Timesheets section of the app.

You can find plenty of support in Resource Guru’s Help Center if you encounter any difficulties during your sign-up process to our online timesheets.

If you’re already a Resource Guru customer, you can find our Timesheets in the main navigation in your account.

Resource Guru’s unique features mean you can record time quickly, accurately, and easily.

Get full visibility with features like:

• Auto-suggested timesheet entries: These are pulled straight from your schedule into your timesheet, to improve how efficiently you and your team can log their time. All time entries can be easily edited, to keep timesheets as accurate as possible.
• Optional notes for every time entry: So you can track the details of what you worked on and use it as a reference point. This also makes it easier for managers to review timesheets and understand granular project progress.
• A live summary of logged hours with a breakdown of billable and non-billable hours: This gives you an accurate overview of where time is being spent and how much of it will bring in revenue.
• Track time from external calendars: Being able to pull information in from calendars like Google and Outlook allows you to track any external meetings with clients and make sure that any billable hours aren’t missed.
• Exportable timesheet data: Being able to export data means that you can share and analyze it in more detail and identify trends and issues that need to be addressed.
• Bulk log: This allows you to record all of your weekly tasks in one go, saving you time and stress when completing your timesheets.

Resource Guru’s Timesheets are more efficient and accurate, and give teams greater visibility than templates or spreadsheets.

Our resource timesheets:

• Have a more intuitive, user-friendly interface than spreadsheets, which can often be fiddly if you aren’t familiar with them.
• Give a live summary of logged hours each week, automatically showing you billable and non-billable hours with no formulas needed.
• Don’t require you to convert time into decimals, like some templates (and other timesheet software).
• Reduce administrative time spent sending out, collating, and sharing timesheet spreadsheets or templates.
• Include features like auto-suggest, helping employees fill out their timesheets quickly and accurately.
• Are mobile-friendly, making it easier for you or your team to fill them in on the go.

Unlike lots of competitors, Resource Guru offers both timesheets and resource scheduling software in one place. This allows you to automatically fill your timesheet with work from your schedule and external calendars, a feature most other timesheet tools don’t offer.

To keep things accurate, your team can then:

• Review, edit, and log these auto-suggestions
• Add descriptive notes to every time entry
• Fill in any gaps by adding time entries manually

Other timesheets often lack this level of granularity, costing you data accuracy in your timesheets and reducing visibility of how your team spends its time.

When it comes to reporting, you can compare forecasted work from the schedule against completed work in timesheets, to get the full picture of how a project is progressing.

Unlike other solutions, this also gives your team unique insight into billable hours, overtime, and utilization rates, and helps you identify whether there are any bottlenecks in your workflow.
