Tips and tricks for entering time—Sage Intelligent Time

Here are some tips and tricks for entering time with SIT.

Drag and drop

You can drag and drop many different elements of an activity card:

  • The entire activity card to a new timesheet row
  • The entire activity card to an existing row in your timesheet
  • A single entry on an activity card to a new timesheet row
  • A single entry on an activity card to an existing row in your timesheet
Drag and drop is unavailable when using the Sage Intelligent Time and Expenses mobile app.

Create a row to hold all activities of a certain type

When you create a new row in your timesheet, you can create it with tracking a particular activity in mind.

For example, you might be working on Project Lion and need to track the hours you spend in meetings regarding this project. You could create a new row on your timesheet, and fill in the appropriate dimension information such as:

  • Customer: Lionshead
  • Project: Project Lion
  • Task: Meetings
  • Department: Administration

After the row is created, anytime an activity card appears with meeting information about Project Lion, you can drag and drop this activity to the existing line for meeting tracking. The time for each meeting is logged on the appropriate day and your timesheet data entry has been streamlined.

Multiple activity cards can be contained on a single timesheet row. If you have five meetings in a week, all five meeting activity cards can be added to a single timesheet row.
