📘 Overview

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


🔍 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


✅ 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


🧭 Navigation

You can access Decimal View via two methods:

  1. From the Timesheets page in the Staffing Workspace

  2. Through View Companies → 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

ℹ️ Switching views (Hours ⮂ Decimal) is instant and does not affect saved data.


🧠 Contextual Colour

Different time logs are colour-coded for easy differentiation:

  • 🔵 Blue Dot: Morning Shift

  • 🟠 Orange Dot: Afternoon shift
