A SharePoint Timesheet Management System gives organisations an efficient and modern approach to monitor the amount of hours that employees work in their organisations, approvals and visibility of projects. Combined with Power Apps, SharePoint is no longer a distant data storage but a full-fledged, easy-to-use timesheet platform integrated with Microsoft 365 entirely. This combined solution will help organisations to remove manual operations at the same time enhancing accuracy and productivity. With the potential of two platforms, companies will be able to build a scalable timesheet solution without the use of sophisticated third-party applications.
SharePoint as Data Backbone.
SharePoint is a key element in the safe storage and management of timesheet information. SharePoint lists are used to store structured data about the employee information, names of projects, daily hours, weekly hours, date of submission, and status of approval.
The major benefits of using SharePoint are:
- Centralised data storage
- Security controls and access controls.
- History and audit of versioning.
- Scalability is easy because the organisation grows.
Since SharePoint is included in Microsoft365, it ensures that it meets the requirements of the enterprise level security standards and supports easy collaboration among teams.
Power Apps to Modern User Experience.
SharePoint will manage the storing of the data but Power Apps will be used to provide the interface that employees and managers interact with on a daily basis. Power Apps allows organisations to build low-code applications that are customised to their timesheet procedures and are user-friendly.
The employees can use the application to:
- Time in projects or tasks.
- Turn in time sheets on a weekly or monthly basis.
- Revise or save drafts before submittance.
- See status and history of view.
Managers are rewarded with dashboards showing pending approvals, team-level overviews and individual timesheet information in one application.
Live Sharepoint and Power Apps Integration.
Power Apps is directly connected to SharePoint lists, which gives the possibility of real-time synchronization of data. Whenever users make or update a timesheet through the application, the information is automatically saved in SharePoint without replicating or human interference.
This real time unification guarantees:
- High quality and reliable data.
- Rapid submissions processing.
- One source of truth on timesheet information.
Power Apps also has validation rules that maintain the correct or complete entry further increasing the quality of data.
Automating Approvals and Workflows.
Power automate can be used to process approvals and notifications in order to complete the timesheet solution. After the submission of a timesheet, the workflows are automated and sent to the relevant manager.
Automation possibilities are:
- Approval requests sent through email or Microsoft
- Teams.
- Department or project conditional routing.
- Auto-Updates of approval status in SharePoint.
- Approval, rejection and resubmission notifications.
Such automated processes minimize delays and manual follow-ups and generate prompt processing.
Enhancing Visibility and Reporting.
By having all time sheet data stored in SharePoint, organisations can have a greater insight into the workforce activity. Managers and HR can rapidly review the hours reported, see trends and compliance.
To get more advanced insights, SharePoint data may be linked to Power BI to generate dashboards that show:
- Distribution of effort project-wise.
- Overtime trends
- Resource utilisation
- Approval turnaround times
This evidence-based solution facilitates high quality planning and decision making.
Key Business Benefits
The benefits of a timesheet management system based on a SharePoint and Power Apps include:
- Fewer administrative man-hours.
- Processing and approvals in a shorter time.
- Better compliance and accuracy.
- Improved staff utilization via easy interfaces.
- smooth connection with Microsoft 365.
Since the solution is realised using low-code tools, it can be easily improved when the businesses change their needs.
