A new Timesheet setting gives you more control over how time is logged. Now, you can prevent users from submitting more hours than their assigned capacity. If a user tries to report overtime, they’ll receive a warning, and the excess hours will automatically revert to their capacity limit.

How It Works

Previously, users could manually adjust their reported time beyond their scheduled hours—even exceeding their daily capacity. This led to extra admin work for teams that needed strict time tracking for invoicing and financial reporting.

With this update:

  • If a user’s capacity is set to 8 hours but they try to log 10 hours, their reported time will automatically be capped at 8 hours.
  • A warning will appear, ensuring they are aware of the restriction.
  • The feature works alongside the overscheduling warning but provides an extra layer of control by limiting actual logged time.
