Are you using a legacy timesheet?
If you're using an older timesheet format, you won't have access to the Quick Fill With button. However, you should be able to use our Copy From functionality, which is very similar.
You can save yourself time when completing your timesheet by copying data from another location.
To copy data to your timesheet:
- Click Quick Fill With.
- Select the option you'd like to use from the drop-down, as described in the table below.
Depending on what you choose from the Quick Fill With button’s options, some options either overwrite or append any existing information in the current timesheet and some other options may add new data.
Your timesheet is now auto-filled with the data from the option you selected. If you incorrectly fill your timesheet, you can clear the contents with the Clear All button.
Your administrator can also set up multiple quick fill buttons to display on your timesheet, for easier access.
