Entering time in a timesheet
There are three possible ways to enter time in Polaris:
The timesheet settings you’ve been assigned determine how you enter your time. The settings also determine if you can:
- Select a task, project, or activity to enter time against
- Copy data from another timesheet you’ve completed
- Add, delete, or copy timesheet rows
- Enter comments about the work you completed
- Book time off
- Attach a file to a timesheet
Depending on your settings, you can enter time using the Polaris web app or the Replicon Mobile app.
Once you’ve finished entering time in a timesheet, you’ll need to submit it for approval. For some users, timesheets are submitted automatically on their due date.
About the timesheet formats
Duration-based timesheet
If you are required to record the amount of time you have worked, such as 4.5 hours, you will use a duration-based timesheet. Enter your hours in the grid, under the appropriate day.

In/out timesheet
If you are required to enter the times you start and stop work – for example, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. – you will use an in/out timesheet. Add a new time entry and enter the time that you started working (your “in time”). Then, when you finish work or switch tasks, enter the ending time (your “out time”).
