💡 Inspiration

Many organizations still rely on manual timesheet tracking or disconnected tools, leading to delays, errors, and lack of visibility. We wanted to create a simple, centralized solution to streamline the entire process.

⚙️ What it does

The Timesheet Management System allows employees to submit weekly timesheets and managers to review, approve, or reject them. It provides real-time status tracking, automated notifications, and centralized data storage.

🛠️ How we built it

We built the app using Microsoft Power Platform:

• Power Apps for the user interface and logic
  
• SharePoint as the data source
  
• Power Automate for notifications and workflow automation
  

🚧 Challenges we ran into

• Managing form behavior between new and existing records
  
• Ensuring data consistency across SharePoint and Power Apps
  
• Handling field mappings (especially dates and calculated values)
  
• Designing a user-friendly interface while maintaining functionality
  

🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully built an end-to-end submission and approval workflow
  
• Implemented dynamic role-based experiences for employees and managers
  
• Automated notifications to improve communication
  
• Created a clean and intuitive user interface
  

📚 What we learned

• Learned how to troubleshoot data binding and form issues
  
• Improved our ability to design user-focused applications
  
• Gained experience building scalable business solutions
  

🚀 What's next for TIMESHEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
