Orangescrum now offers easier Time Tracking with Daily and Weekly Timesheets! How to use Timesheet for Time Entry? There are two Timesheets for you to choose from based on your convenience and desired frequency for time tracking. If you are a daily person you can opt for the “Daily Timesheet” to track your hours spent on a daily basis. Alternatively, if you prefer to log time once for all (not that I am saying you are lazy :)) you can select the “Weekly Timesheet” to enter time spent across projects and tasks for the week gone by.

Week View: it will show the current week. You can select the custom week from the calendar as well. 3.
