The out-of-the-box Resource Summary report provides a comprehensive view of timesheet data, including work items, hours, cost, billing, and profitability. However, it currently does not include the Timesheet “Reported Date” (time entry date) as part of the report output.
While the report allows filtering using <Timesheet>.Reported Date, the absence of this field in the exported results (Excel) limits its usability for detailed analysis.
Business Requirement:
Users require visibility of the date associated with each time entry within the report output to:
-
Analyze time data across specific days within a selected period
-
Perform monthly or multi-week reporting with clear date-level breakdown
-
Support financial reconciliation and audit use cases
-
Enable accurate downstream processing in Excel
Current Limitation:
-
Date field is available only as a filter, not as a report column
-
Report output is aggregated without temporal granularity
Requested Enhancement:
Add the ability to include Timesheet Reported Date as a selectable/displayable column in the Resource Summary report output (including Excel export).
Expected Outcome:
-
Each row in the report should display the corresponding time entry date
-
Improved usability for reporting, auditing, and data analysis without requiring custom reports
Impact:
This enhancement would significantly improve the usability of a commonly used out-of-the-box report and reduce dependency on custom report development for standard reporting needs.
