Enhance SharePoint Time Reporting with TimeCard

1. With TimeCard users can tag SharePoint events with information that converts them into time sheets. This way they can report time and expenses from their SharePoint calendars. When they also plan their time in SharePoint there will be no double entries. The tagged events will be reported to a SharePoint list. At reporting the users can also export each time report to an Excel datasheet.Reported time can be analyzed in Excel statistics reports.In the first part of the presentation, I will show you how users can work with TimeCard. After that we will take a look at the TimeCard settings and then finally study the TimeCard statistics.
