๐Ÿ“˜ Overview

The Decimal View offers a clear and concise way to read and manage timesheet data. While the core actions โ€” such as editing, saving, approving, and audit logging โ€” remain unchanged, this view presents every time value in decimal format for improved readability and mathematical ease.


๐Ÿ” Why this page is important

The Decimal View is essential for users who need to:

  • Quickly calculate total hours

  • Export timesheets for payroll processing

  • Avoid confusion from mixed time formats

  • Ensure consistency across departments using decimal-only formats


โœ… How it helps

  • Displays time values in a uniform decimal format

  • Enhances efficiency for payroll and billing calculations

  • Reduces manual conversion of hour:minute to decimal

  • Supports error validation and approval workflows


๐Ÿงญ Navigation

You can access Decimal View via two methods:

  1. From the Timesheets page in the Staffing Workspace

  2. Through View Companies โ†’ Timesheets (automatically selects the company)

Once on the Timesheet page:

  • Use the view selector dropdown next to the shift list

  • Select "Decimal" to switch the view

โ„น๏ธ Switching views (Hours โฎ‚ Decimal) is instant and does not affect saved data.


๐Ÿง  Contextual Colour

Different time logs are colour-coded for easy differentiation:

  • ๐Ÿ”ต Blue Dot: Morning Shift

  • ๐ŸŸ  Orange Dot: Afternoon shift

  • ๐ŸŸฃ Purple Dot: Night shift durations

And:

  • ๐Ÿงฑ Dark Grey Cell = Saved successfully

  • ๐Ÿงฎ Total Hours column shows the full total of approved hours for the candidate in that week

๐Ÿช„ Hovering on Total Hours reveals breakdown into Regular vs. Overtime


Functional Details

  • Decimal values are shown in the format h (e.g., 7.50, 8.25)

  • Total Hours are calculated in decimal format (e.g., 8.25h)

  • Validation is still enforced:

    • Max allowed per cell: 24

    • Invalid characters or exceeded values trigger a red highlight

  • Unsaved entries are shown with a small red triangle in the top-right corner

  • Cell actions:

    • Save a single cell ๐Ÿ’พ

    • Save entire row ๐Ÿ’พ

    • Approve cell or row โœ…

    • Bulk approve all rows within a shift โœ…โœ…

    • Disapprove approved entries โŒ


๐Ÿ“ Remarks & Audit Controls

  • Remarks (up to 500 characters) can be added per cell.

  • View Audit Logs and Audit Controls by clicking the โ‹ฎ three-dot menu next to each cell.

  • Track:

    • Who made the change

    • What was changed (old vs. new value)

    • Timestamp and role of user

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ All changes are logged for full transparency.


๐Ÿ’ก Key Points to Remember

  • Decimal View is best for payroll admins, accountants, and operations teams

  • Switching between views does not affect data

  • Red indicators help highlight errors or unsaved entries

  • All other features โ€” shift filters, approval, remarks, audit โ€” remain unchanged

  • Hovering over Total Hours shows the breakdown (e.g. Regular vs. Overtime)
