Please make sure you have added an item to your timesheet. Once items have been added to your timesheet they will appear as a row and you can add time to them. The following guide will show you how to enter time
https://knowledgebase.temporasoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003233525 - I cannot find the item I want to add to my timesheet
Please contact your local Tempora administrator as they will be able to add additional items for you. If the item is already in the system but not available to you, your Tempora administrator may need to update your restrictions list. - I get the message "Unable to enter time at this level".
If you receive this message the item you have selected is not set as a time entry-level. This often means that you need to select an item at a lower level to record time for. If there are no lower levels for this item please inform your local Tempora administrator as they may need to set this level as time entry. - I accidentally posted my timesheet
If you have accidentally posted your timesheet and you need to make amendments you can contact your Tempora administrator who will be able to unpost it for you. If your timesheet is pending or approved you will need to contact your time approver who will be able to reject it. - I cannot post my timesheet
If you have not met or exceeded your minimum required weekly hours the post button will not be available to you. This button will become available when a timesheet with the minimum required hours is saved. - When I login my timesheet is an old or incorrect week
Tempora will always take you to the most recent uncompleted week. If the week is not posted it will be seen as incomplete, posting this timesheet should resolve the issue. If the timesheet is already posted or the issue is not resolved please contact our support team for assistance.
