Who this guide is for: System administrators – Requires 'System Admin' role
Overview
This guide explains the new Enforce activity selection and Enforce project selection controls in Time Tracking. When enabled, users must choose an activity and/or project before they can submit a timesheet.
How Enforce Activity/Project Selection Works
These settings are inheritable at Global, Template, and User levels (Template overrides Global; User overrides Template). When enabled:
• Users cannot submit a timesheet without the required field(s) completed.
• Enforcement applies to the mobile app as well as the web.
• Enforcement does not apply when using Total hours only mode.
How to Set Up Enforce Activity/Project Selection
Global (applies to all users unless overridden)
Go to Admin tools > Admin panel > Global > Time Tracking.
In Submission Rules, toggle Enforce activity selection and/or Enforce project selection to On.
Click Save at the top of the page.
Template (applies to users assigned to the template)
Go to Admin tools > Admin panel > Template > User Templates.
Click Edit on the required template (you’ll land on Template Settings by default).
Open the Time Tracking section and toggle Enforce activity selection and/or Enforce project selection to On.
Click Save Template at the top of the page.
User (override for an individual)
Go to Admin tools > Users.
Search for the user and click Edit.
Select the User Settings tab, open Time Tracking, then toggle Enforce activity selection and/or Enforce project selection to On/Off as needed.
Click Save User at the top of the page.
Additional Information
Enforce activity selection / Enforce project selection: Requires users to choose an Activity and/or Project on each line before Submit Week is allowed.
Inheritance: Global → Template → User; lower levels override higher.
Mobile support: Enforcement applies in the mobile app.
Limitation: Not enforced in Total hours only mode.
Best practice: Enable enforcement where activities/projects are used for billing, cost codes, or utilisation reporting; leave off for teams that only capture total hours.
Requires 'System Admin' role.
