Timesheet Details

The lower pane of the My Timesheet tab is used to view timesheet details. By default, only your timesheet displays in the timesheet view. However, by selecting any assignment in the timesheet and clicking the Show details button on the My Timesheet tab toolbar, you can display the lower pane view. The lower pane of the timesheet view contains the following tabs:

Comments Timesheet comments allow you to contribute to an online conversation about the timesheet.
Details If detailed time entry is enabled for the work item to which you are assigned, you can provide more granular time tracking information. The columns displayed in this tab are customizable by your administrator and may be different for each work item type.
Status The Status tab enables you to communicate with a project manager about estimates for start and finish dates, total and remaining work, and percent complete. You can improve performance in the My Timesheet view by closing the lower pane when it is not in use. To do so, click Close.

Right-click on a row in the timesheet table to open a shortcut menu and navigate to other views. For example, right-click on a task assignment to open the Task Details or Assignment Details. The view opens in a read-only pop-up window. You can also right-click on a work item (task or activity based) to open the views for which you have permissions.
