Smarter Timesheet

Overview

Smarter Timesheet is a lightweight, SharePoint-native time tracking solution. Install the app, add the web part to any page, and start logging time within minutes—no external services required. A unique feature, Extended Hours, lets you capture the difference between planned and actual work (whether faster or slower than estimated), making project billing and fixed-scope contracts more transparent. Available in English and German.

Key features

• SharePoint-native: your data stays inside your organization’s SharePoint environment.
• One-click setup: required data structures are created automatically on first load.
• Projects & tasks: create and edit projects directly inside the web part.
• Planned vs. actual tracking: log Extended Hours to record differences between estimated and real time.
• Fast entry: intuitive weekly, monthly, and yearly views with totals and quick add.
• Permissions: relies on SharePoint’s built-in Owners (admin) and Members (user) groups.

Getting started

1. Click the Get it now button above. SharePoint administrators can install Smarter Timesheet immediately; other users send an approval request to their organization’s SharePoint admin.
2. In SharePoint, add the Smarter Timesheet app to the site where you want to track time (Site contents > New > App > From your organization > Smarter Timesheet). Using Microsoft Teams? Add it to the SharePoint site behind your Team.
3. Edit a page (for example, Home) and add the Smarter Timesheet web part (+ Add web part > search “Smarter Timesheet”). When the page loads, auto-provisioning creates all required lists.
4. Use Admin Settings (Owners group) to adjust work days, weekly hours, and behavior for your team.
5. Click Add Entry to record time. Need a new project? Choose + New Project in the project picker to create it inline.
