With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can create and manage time sheets for tracking time that is used on jobs or service orders. There are several pages that are associated with time sheets that you can display in both Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client and Microsoft Dynamics NAV SharePoint client. This topic describes how to display and use some of the time sheet pages on a SharePoint site that uses Microsoft Dynamics NAV Portal Framework. For complete information about how to use the time sheet application, see the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Help.

Setting Up and Creating Time Sheets

Before you can display time sheets, you must set up time sheets for use and then create one or more time sheets that you can work with. To perform this work, you can use either the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, or the Microsoft Dynamics NAV SharePoint client. However, for this procedure, we recommend that you use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

To set up and create time sheets

  1. Open the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

  2. Set up the time sheet administration and approval.

    When you set up a time sheet, you must assign an owner and approver. For this example, you can make yourself both an owner and an approver of time sheets.

    For more information, see How to: Set Up Time Sheet Administration and Approval.

  3. Set up the time sheet for use.

    For more information, see How to: Set Up Time Sheets.

  4. Create the time sheets for filling out.

    For more information, see How to: Create a Time Sheet.

Displaying the Time Sheets

Time sheets that you own are displayed in page 951, Time Sheet List. This procedure creates a link to page 951 in the Quick Launch pane of the SharePoint site. After you add the time sheet page to the site, you can view, edit, and submit time sheets that are assigned to you.

To display the Time Sheet list page

  1. Open the SharePoint site in your browser.

  2. Choose Site Actions, and then choose Site Settings.

  5. In the Type the Web Address field, type the following URL:

    http:// server: port/_layouts/Dynamics/Framework/List.aspx?page=951

    • Replace server with the name of the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Portal Framework. If you are working on the same computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Portal Framework, then you can use localhost.
    • Replace port with the port number that is used by the SharePoint application for the site. 80 is the default port. For more information, see How to: Identify the Port Number of a SharePoint Application.
