Clarian IS
User Guide
__________________________________________________________________
Replicon’s Web Timesheet 5.8 is an easy-to-use time reporting tool that Clarian IS will
use for project time tracking. This guide is intended to help you start using the system –
to gain access and perform basic operations. If you have other questions, please
contact the Web Timesheet system administrator at tbelcher@clarian.org
2 - First Login
When your user account is first created you are automatically sent a welcome email that
contains a link to Web Timesheet along with your login name and initial password.
Save this link in your “favorites” list. It will be much easier to find, although the link
is included in any email sent by Web Timesheet – such as timesheet reminders.
Your default password is “password”. Please change this password by clicking on the
“Config” button at the top of the screen, then on “Change Password” in the left hand
menu.
3 – User Interface
The user interface is easy to use. The round buttons at the top “Project, Timesheet,
and Config”, are the main menu buttons. The menu on the left hand side is the sub-
menu for each main menu. You can minimize each submenu by clicking the “<<” button
on that menu, which can be useful to bring a timesheet more completely onto the
screen:
Remember to click on the Save button after modifying each screen. Otherwise you will
receive a persistent reminder to save before leaving the screen.
We recommend you configure your system with the following selections from the
“Config” menu:
To create your timesheet, select the Timesheet icon (the circle at the top of the screen).
The default timesheet is for the current week. If you need to see a timesheet for a
different week, click on the calendar on the left-hand side of the screen on the desired
week.
Selecting tasks - To add tasks to your timesheet, click on the “Add/Remove Tasks”
button.
The window below should appear. You can filter the left hand list by selecting a “Client”
filter at the top: General, Project, Application, or Support, or by selecting a “project” from
the “Project” filter. (Web Timesheet calls everything “projects”, so we use this term to
include applications and support groups as well as regular projects)
Deleting tasks – To delete a task from a timesheet you can either reverse the above
process, or – better yet – simply click on the “delete” icon: the red ‘X’ to the left of the
task line.
Entering time - You should then see your timesheet with all of your selected tasks.
Enter your time in hours for each task on each day.
Location – You must have a “location” defined for each task. The default value is
“Downtown”. If your work activity was performed for Clarian North, Clarian West, or the
Beltways, select the other location from the “Location” pull-down menu.
Note: Location is “for which” site the work was performed, not “at which” site.
Duplicating Tasks – If you performed the same task twice for different locations, you can
duplicate the task and give the second line a different location. To duplicate a task,
click on the small document icon with the plus sign next to the “delete” task icon.
Time Off – You can add time off by clicking the “Add Time Off” button and selecting a
task to record different categories of time off. This record is for information purposes
only, to communicate your time off to your supervisor.
Time off entered into Replicon does not replace the normal Kronos time and
attendance process.
Submitting a timesheet – When you have entered all your time correctly, click the
“Submit” button.
Please use the Task Descriptions appended to this guide to help log time to project
tasks. Using the correct project task is important to accurately track capital and
operating expenses for each project.
If you wish to log time to a project or application that is not listed, use the “Other Project”
or “Other Application” options in the list of “projects”, and select tasks to log your time.
Enter the name of the project or application in the “Comment” field for the task.
The timesheet week starts Sunday morning and ends Saturday night at midnight.
Timesheets are due by noon on Mondays.
9 – Timesheet Approval
Supervisors will receive email notification of overdue submitted timesheets that are
waiting for approval.
10 – Substitute Approvers
If you will be out of the office and need to delegate your approval role to someone else,
go to the “Config” menu, select “Substitute Users”, and select a replacement approver.
