Updating Your Timesheet Template To Track Non-goal Hours

Updating Your Timesheet Template to Track Non-Goal Hours

There may be times when you’ll need to track hours that should not count toward the Goal Hours indicated in a reporter's Timesheet Position. Perhaps you want to track lunch or meal breaks in this way. Or, maybe you have reporters that are serving as AmeriCorps members and as volunteers for a different branch of your organization. 

Here are the steps for updating your template: 

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Timesheets.

2. On the right, click Create & manage timesheet templates.

3. Expand the section of the template called The Basics.
    

4. Locate the panel for Time Allocation Categories and in the bottom right click Edit.

   
5. Below, click Create a Category and give it a name.
6. To make the category non-goal, answer No to the question, "Should hours in this category qualify as Goal Hours?" 
7. Click Update to save your changes.
8. Next you'll need to find the Hours Type Labels section and update these labels appropriately.These labels will appear in the Timesheet Dashboard for your reporters.
   
9. Click Save.
