Answer: A user activates eTimeMachine applications by clicking on eTimeMachine icon, then signs in using his/her user ID and password. His/her timesheet will then be displayed on the screen with the specific user’s associated information, including task/work that he/she is assigned to.
Answer: Project managers using project management systems such as Primavera P6 and MS Project assign resources to tasks in those systems and those assignments go directly to users’ timesheets. Also, functional managers can assign work to users directly in eTimeMachine. The work/task are displayed in users’ timesheets with planned starting and end date as well as estimated effort associated with it.
