Time Sheets In Salesforce.com

The professional services department wants to track time sheets in a central location. We use Salesforce.com for everything else, why not time sheets?

The only way to do it out-of-the-box requires the users to open a new record and perform the data entry on a single page for each time allocation. This means a lot of clicking. A lot.

I got around this by creating an AJAX S-Control that retrieves the time-sheet records (a custom object) and populates them in a grid along with a few blank rows at the bottom for ample area to account for today’s new time records.

The projects list is a list of Opportunities that they can attribute their work to.

Take a look, what do you think?
