Article · Timesheets
For admins
Updated 6 November 2026
- Admins keep timesheets running: the project list, contract hours, team leaders and exports.
- When we set you up, we do the first round of each with you. This is included.
- Timesheets need the Enterprise plan.
The project list
- Every code your team can log time against. Find it in Settings › Collections.
- Each row has a code, a name, and billable or not.
- Add a row for each new project. Everyone sees it straight away.
- Hide finished projects so nobody picks them. Time already logged keeps its name.
- Some rows can show on everyone's timesheet every week, at the bottom. For example: training and leave. Ask us to change which ones.
Contract hours and team leaders
- Go to Settings › Team.
- For each person, set Contracted hours / week and their team leader.
- Contract hours set the Variance on that person's timesheet. If they are empty, Tyto uses 40.
- The team leader can see that person's timesheet, but cannot change it.
Change someone's timesheet
- Admins can open anyone's timesheet and add, change or delete entries.
- Open the person's page from the Team page and choose the Timesheets tab.
Exports
Go to the Team page and open the Export menu:
- Director Summary…: this week, for everyone or for one team.
- Line Manager Summary…: this week, for one team leader's people.
- Finance Summary…: any dates. Your firm's own finance layout, if we have built one with you.
In the Director and Line Manager summaries:
- Each person's hours are split into two sections.
- Hours up to their contract come first. Hours above their contract are in the second section.
- Short weeks are not marked. Check the totals.
What Tyto does not do
- No reminders to staff.
- No alerts when a week is short or over.
- No locking or approving of weeks.
Projects from your spreadsheets
- This is an add-on.
- Large projects come in from your work-breakdown spreadsheet, with a task for each deliverable and a row for each role. People run timers on their own row.
- We map your spreadsheet once. After that, import new projects yourself from the project's settings with Import from spreadsheet.
