Timesheet Entries UX

How to distinguish new time entries

I have a timesheet that looks like this: Timesheet

Which works well. the customers can see all their time entries on one screen and works well reading the times across the week at a glance.

However the issue comes when a user has to enter their timesheets and can be working on up to 5 different assignments, that need to be added via the 'Add in time' drop down.

User story:

As a user i fill out my timesheet at the end of the week, and it totals to 34.5 hours

Then 2 days later i need to go back in the add additional time for another assignment that i worked on which i forgot about. So the weeks total hours is now 42 hours.

34.5 hours - Assignment 1

7.5 hours - Assigment 2

However i do not know which project the total time has been allocated to.


What is the best way to distinguish this new information that has been added

  • New time added from different assignments
  • How to tell at a glance which time has been allocated to what assignment

Hope this is clear..
