Create a Custom Timesheet Search

You can create a custom search specifically for timesheets. You can save each search for future personal or team use.

The lookup options on the Timesheet Custom Search dialog box include an X next to each field name. You can click this option to remove the filter from your custom search.

To create a custom timesheet search:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select My Stuff > Timesheet.
  2. At the top of the Timesheets form, click on the Select Searches list, scroll down, and click Custom.
  3. In the Search Name field on the Timesheet Custom Search dialog box, enter a name for the custom search.
  4. To save the search for specific users, click + Save Options and select one or more security roles that can access this search.
    Depending on your security rights, you can save the search for everyone (all security roles), for your role, or for specific security roles.
    • If you do not have the appropriate security rights to save searches for others, you can only save searches for yourself, which are subsequently listed in the My Searches list.
    • If you do have the appropriate security rights, the names of the searches that you make available to others are subsequently listed in the Shared Searches list.

    For more information, see the Personal and Shared Searches online help topic.
