As administrator, you can configure a workspace type for workspace-level time tracking. by selecting Track Time at the Workspace Level when creating or editing a workspace type.

When workspace-level time tracking is selected for a workspace type, it is enabled for all workspaces of that type.

This setting affects how workspace members track time in the Timesheets application. If workspace-level time tracking is enabled, team members see a single line item for the workspace in their timesheets and they log time against the workspace itself rather than against individual tasks.

Note: A task will appear on the timesheet if a task was updated by either:

Workspace-level actual work displays on the workspace Status pane, the Status History page, and can be added to custom views.

Automatically Approving Empty Time Entries

If your workspace type is configured to track time at the workspace level, you also have the option to automatically approve any empty work entries associated with the workspaces of this type.

To enable this option for your workspace type:

  1. In the workspace type settings page, select Track Time at the Workspace Levell if you have not already done so.
  2. Select Automatically approve empty time entries
  3. Click Save.

With this option activated, any empty time entries associated with workspaces of that type will be automatically approved going forward. Any existing empty timesheet entries must still be approved manually. Timesheets approved with this option can be reopened by the submitter in addition to the timesheet approvers.

Note: If your Timesheet Approval Policy only includes workspace timesheet approvers, then timesheets will be automatically approved if the timesheet has no time logged against any workspace.
