Shift Timesheets Table Navigation

November 11, 2025

The Timesheets Table functions as the platform for creating, viewing, and managing your workers' timesheets. Timesheets are automatically created 30 minutes before a published scheduled shift is about to begin. For last-minute shifts, a manager can manually create a timesheet. In this article, we’ll discuss the basic navigation of this screen.

Tiles and Tabs

In the top right corner, you can change the displayed date range by clicking the dates button and choosing a timeframe. You can also create a new timesheet by clicking on +New Timesheet. Review this article to learn how to create a timesheet manually. You will also have the option to export timesheets.

Exporting

Exporting will automatically download a CSV of a single or multiple timesheets, with each row signifying an individual timesheet record. You can only export approved timesheets.

To export a single or multiple timesheets, check the boxes to the left of workers' names with approved timesheets in the table and then click Export at the top or in the bulk actions menu that will appear at the bottom of the Timesheets table. You can also export a single timesheet by clicking the three dots to the right of the timesheet and clicking Export.

Important Note:

If you check the box(es) of worker(s) that have pending or deleted timesheets, you will see 0 timesheets to export in the pop-up, and the Export CSV button will be disabled.

Shift offers a simplified CSV export format for timesheet data. The export includes the following columns:

• Worker First Name
• Worker Last Name
• Brand
• Job
• Location
• Pay Rate
• Regular Hours
• OT Hours (overtime hours exceeding 40 within the selected date range)
• Total Hours (sum of regular + OT hours)

Each worker appears as a single row in the export. For workers assigned to multiple locations, roles, or shifts, these values display as comma-separated entries in the CSV.

Info Tiles

You'll see five informational tiles:

• Pending timesheets: The number of timesheets pending approval
• Overtime hours: The total amount of scheduled overtime hours across your workers
• Approved hours: The number of approved hours and minutes of total timesheets that have been approved
• Pending hours: The number of hours and minutes of total timesheets pending approval
• Variance: The total number of hours difference between scheduled shift times and clocked shifts across total timesheets.

Change the table view from all locations to a specific location by clicking All Locations.

You can also use filters. When using the Filter button, you can filter timesheets by things like the worker’s name, location, job, pay rate, as well as any attribute on the Worker Profile.

You can also choose to show the worker’s timestamp on the table by enabling the Show worker timestamp toggle.

Next, you’ll see three tabs:

• Needs Attention: Shows timesheets that require a Fountain user’s review due to an attendance violation. Fountain Shift will automatically flag any timesheets that meet the criteria of your Attendance Policy configuration in this tab. Within this tab, there are 4 buttons that can be used to organize further: All, Break violations, Timestamp, and No show.
• Timesheets: Shows all timesheets that do not have an attendance violation OR timesheets that had an attendance violation, but the timesheet has gone through the Needs Attention review process. Within this tab, there are 6 filters that can be used to organize further: All, Pending, Ongoing, Approved, Exported, and Deleted.
• No show: Shows timesheets for workers who did not show up for their scheduled shift.
