FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers on time logging, approvals and man-hour cost reports.
Can time be logged daily or weekly?
Yes. Wrench SmartProject supports daily and weekly time logging, with day-wise time booking recorded per employee. Each entry shows its approval status, and approved and non-approved time are kept visible separately.
How is man-hour cost calculated?
Automatically, using project man-hour rates. As hours are booked, the platform computes cost by project, discipline, system and employee, so managers can monitor labour expenditure without manual calculation.
Can I track time by discipline, activity and system?
Yes. Time can be tracked discipline-wise, activity-wise within each discipline, and by discipline and system together. Reports come in summary and detailed views, with user-level drill-down, login traceability and cost computed automatically.
How do multi-level timesheet approvals work?
Timesheets move through multi-level approval workflows, and every entry shows a clear approval status. Reports track pending approvals by approver, week and month, show submission and resubmission dates and provide escalation-ready summaries, while alerts flag pending approvals to reduce processing delays.
Can I see who has not submitted a timesheet?
Yes. Compliance reports cover non-submission of timesheets and identify users who have not logged or submitted time, in a single consolidated view without duplication. Non-submission alerts help ensure timely reporting.
Can I report an employee's time across multiple projects?
Yes. Employee-wise cumulative time reports break an employee's hours down by day, week and project, with cost computed per project automatically. This shows how employees are deployed across projects, supporting capacity planning and staffing decisions.
