Next conceptLinking time sheet entries to work orders and work order line items

Explainer

Time sheets in Agentforce Field Service record how service resources spend their time. The records form a chain: a service resource has time sheets that each cover a date range, and each time sheet holds time sheet entries for single blocks of activity. Each entry can link to the work order or work order line item the time was spent on. Time sheet templates can create the time sheets automatically on a schedule.
Core information
  • A time sheet relates a service resource with their time and attendance. Its Service Resource field names whose time it is. Its Time Sheet Start Date and Time Sheet End Date set the first and last day it covers.
More details and nuances
  • You can only create time sheets for service resources of the type Technician.
