Time logging on project left navigation for admin work not related to a task.

[#1]

There are many ways to log time and we use them all.  We even add a task to every project called admin time logging for work concentrated to a specific project but not detailed in a task.  We have recently restructured our work and we are going to have coordinators own the projects and keep them moving quickly and smoothly but likely the coordinators will not have tasks.

If we could turn on a feature in the left nav so each project had this default option, we could avoid adding a generic task to the beginning of each project to log time.  This also would be helpful for other roles as well as coordinators.

Once a project is opened, the coordinator could click on the left nav and this weeks time sheet would appear for that project and could easily be completed without leaving to go to another location to log time.  Similar to logging on a task or issue.

Thanks!

Hi there! Someone can log project time as long as they're given contribute access to the project, they don't need to have a task assigned to them in the project to log time to it. Would logging project time work for you? For ease of carrying that over to timesheets, I wonder if this Idea would be revised to more easily log time to 'projects I'm on' from the timesheet, and not just tasks/projects you're assigned to?

Hello Madalyn, I was so excited to read this reply but I tried to share the project with someone as contribute and they did not see the project on their time sheet.  Is sharing at contribute level what you meant to see the project on their timesheet?

Thanks!

Right, adding them as contribute access allows them to log project time to the project without having to be assigned to a task (this is now a project on). What I mentioned above is I think your Idea could be honed to be an enhancement to timesheets to have 'projects I'm on' be a filter option in the timesheet, and not just tasks/projects you're assigned to. Does that make sense?
