When timesheets are listed on the Bulk Timesheets screen in Item View, you can view each timesheet item that appears on each of the listed timesheets and you can, depending on you user security permissions, edit, add or delete timesheet items via the Bulk Timesheets screen without having to open timesheets individually in a Timesheet Entry screen.
In the Item View, the list of timesheets on the Bulk Timesheets screen displays a series of columns that show a summary of the timesheet header information that identifies each timesheet as well as a series of columns that show the attributes of each of the timesheet items that appear on each timesheet. Where a cell within a column is not greyed out, you can edit the corresponding attribute of the timesheet item, as shown in the example below.
The exact attributes that are editable depend on the corresponding timesheet item type.
