Setup time entry with timesheets

A timesheet in Arrow is a collection of time entries that are entered over a specific period of time and related to a project task. Time entry may be completed in the system leveraging a lightning timesheet component that enforces time entry rules that are defined on the component when it is placed on a timesheet lightning record page.

IMPLEMENTATION TIP
Arrow allows every organization to create controls for entering time within a timesheet based on Salesforce Lightning Page Assignments.  Create multiple Lightning Record Pages with varying time entry rules, and assign the Lightning Record Pages to Profiles, Apps, Record Types, etc. leveraging standard Salesforce Lightning Page Assignments.

ADD A NEW TIME SHEET LIGHTNING RECORD PAGE

1. From the Setup menu navigate to Object Manager > Timesheet.
2. On the Object’s details page click Lightning Record Pages and clone an existing Timesheet Lightning Record Page or click New to create a new Lightning Record Page.

IMPLEMENTATION TIP
Arrow comes with a standard timesheet lightning record page already created when Arrow is installed. If your organization only needs a single timesheet with a standard set of rules you can edit the pre-installed page to update the time entry rules for your organization, or you can clone the pre-installed lightning record page to quickly edit the rules that have already been defined.

3. On the record page add the Arrow Timesheet Viewer component.
4. Configure the Arrotw Timesheet Viewer component based on your organization’s time entry rules for the type of user that will access the timesheet.
