# Act as a timesheet delegate

Delegation allows you to perform timesheet activities on behalf of another user.

This is useful when:

-   A **Timesheet Manager** is unavailable to approve timesheets
-   A **team member** is unable to submit or update their timesheet
-   Administrative support is required to maintain continuity

* * *

## Important

-   Only **Administrators** can create new timesheets on behalf of another user
-   **Timesheet Managers and Line Managers** can:
-   -   Approve or reject timesheets
    -   Recall and update submitted timesheets
    -   Submit timesheets on behalf of users

* * *

## Approve Timesheets as a Delegate

1.  Navigate to **Resources → Timesheet Approvals**
2.  Select the **Filter** option
3.  Set:
4.  -   **Timesheet Manager = \[Person you are acting for\]**
5.  Apply the filter
6.  Follow the standard approval process:
7.  -   Review the timesheet
    -   Select **Approve** or **Reject**

* * *

## Submit Timesheets as a Delegate

1.  Navigate to **Work → Timesheets**
2.  Select the **Filter** option
3.  Set:
4.  -   **User = \[Person you are acting for\]**
5.  Apply the filter
6.  Update or complete the timesheet
7.  Click **Submit**

* * *

## Create a Timesheet as a Delegate (Administrators Only)

1.  Navigate to **Work → Timesheets**
2.  Use the **resource selector (header dropdown)**
3.  Select the user you are acting for
4.  Select the required **Timesheet Period**
5.  Click **Save**
6.  Complete and submit the timesheet

* * *

## Export Timesheets as a Delegate

You can export timesheets while acting as a delegate:

1.  Navigate to:
2.  -   **Work → Timesheets**, or
    -   **Resources → Timesheet Approvals**
3.  Apply filters to select the relevant user(s)
4.  From the command bar:
5.  -   Select **Export to Excel**, or
    -   Use the **ellipsis (…)** if required

> **Tip:**  
> Export functionality is available across most list views in Altus and can be combined with filters to extract timesheet data for specific users or groups.

* * *

## Key Considerations

-   Delegation uses **filters**, not a separate interface
-   Always confirm you are acting on the correct user before making changes
-   Approved timesheets will still follow the standard process:
-   -   Approval → actual work recorded → financial impact
-   Maintain clear communication when acting on behalf of others

* * *

## Tips

-   Use delegation to avoid bottlenecks during absences
-   Apply filters carefully to isolate the correct user
-   Use exports when supporting audit or reporting needs
-   Document any changes made on behalf of another user if required
