The width and height of the scrollable area of the timesheets now takes the browser window size into account so that higher resolution monitors can display more information. Previously the display was locked to a particular size and larger browser windows did not show more information than smaller windows. The system now checks the window display size during the logon process and sets the timesheet scrollable area as a percentage of the available space. The specified font size is also taken into account when the display is formatted.

The headers in the timesheet scrollable area are locked in place so they remain in view when a user must scroll down through activities on the timesheet. This feature has been supported in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6+ for several months and has now been added to all commonly used browsers and versions.

As requested by users, all versions of the timesheets have been enhanced to include sorting options. The system will remember the last sort selected across sessions so users can further refine their timesheet preferences. The work list timesheet (which displays one line per activity rather than grouping them by project) has additional sorting to bring activities that are coming due soonest to the top of the list, or to bring activities the system forecasts to be worked on today to the top of the list.

The timesheet report includes two drop down boxes to choose the pay period and the person being reported. Since these controls are at the top of the page, we have had requests to place the button to refresh the report at the top of the page as well. This makes it much simpler to change the selection conditions and simply click on refresh to view the new report without having to scroll past the old report each time.
