Abstract
A management component in a computer system provides user input mechanisms that allow a user to capture time entries on a timesheet in the computer system. The items in a given timesheet can be separately viewed and edited and the timesheet can be submitted for approval.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of capturing timesheet information, comprising:
- generating a timesheet display, indicative of a corresponding timesheet, on a mobile device, with a time period corresponding to a time period set in a computer system;
- receiving a user input entering timesheet information at a given time identified on the timesheet display;
- and
- updating the timesheet display on the mobile device to indicate the entered timesheet information.
1 more element
A computer-implemented method of managing timesheet information in a computer system, comprising:
- displaying a first timesheet display with a plurality of timesheet user input mechanisms, each timesheet user input mechanism corresponding to a different timesheet;
- receiving user actuation of a given timesheet user input mechanism;
- and
- displaying a second timesheet display showing timesheet entries on a given timesheet corresponding to the given timesheet user input mechanism.
1 more element
A mobile device, comprising:
- a timesheet management component that includes a view generator that generates a timesheet display, indicative of a corresponding timesheet, with a time period corresponding to a time period set in a computer system, the timesheet management component further comprising a timesheet capture component;
- a touch sensitive display device that receives a user input touch gesture entering timesheet information at a given time identified on the timesheet display, the timesheet capture component updating the timesheet display on the mobile device to indicate the entered timesheet information;
- and
- a computer processor that is a functional part of the mobile device and is activated by the timesheet management component to facilitate generating the timesheet display, receiving the user touch gesture and updating the timesheet display.
