''Student''
===Current Timesheet===
A student may maintain their current timesheet by adding tasks and miscellanious tasks, and editing the start and end dates, as well as the hours for the current week they have spent on them. Adding and editing task and miscellanious tasks are described int he following sections Adding a Task, Adding a Micellanious Task, Editing a Task, and Editing a Miscellanious Task. A timesheet is created automatically at the start of every new week. All unfinished tasks from the week before will be carried over into the new timesheet. A timesheet may be submiited manually before the due date by clicking the "''Submit Timesheet''" button, this will mark the timesheet as submitted, will record the submitted date, and all unfinished tasks will be carried over to the new week. If a timesheet is submitted before the due date, the timesheet will be uneditable until a new week begins and a new timesheet is created. If a timesheet is not submitted before the due date, after the due date the timesheet will be automatically submitted (however marked as late), and all unfinished tasks will be carried over into the new timesheet for the current week. To see an example of an editable timesheet, see ''Figure 4.2.1'', for an uneditable timesheet, see ''Figure 4.2.2''. <br/>[[Image:current_timesheet_1.JPG|center|650px|Figure 4.2.1 - Editable Timesheet]]<br/>[[Image:current_timesheet_2.JPG|center|650px|Figure 4.2.2 - Uneditable Timesheet]]

A small window will appear above the timesheet, here you should select the task type "''Miscellaneious''", this will show a text box where you can enter a description of the miscellaneious task.

====Editing a Task====
To edit a task, click the "''Edit''" button to the right of the task record on the timesheet. The row will become editable, text boxes will appear for the editable fields, start and finish date, and the weekly hours spent. To edit either the start or finished date, you may manually type the date into the field in the format of ''mm/dd/yyyy'' or you may select the date from the drop down calendar. To edit the weekly hours spent, you may enter the hours spent using numbers, using decimal places if needed. Decimal places must be calcuated in the hundreds, to do this you can divide the time you spent in minutes divided by sixty, for example 125/60 = 2.08. If a task has been started, the weekly hours spent can not be equal to zero. If a task is edited with a finished date but no start date, than the start date, finished date and the weekly hours spent are reset to nothing. Once you are done editing the task details and the fields are validated, you may click the "''Update''" button to the right of the record, and then record will be updated and return to its normal view state. If you do not want to update your changes you may click the "''Cancel''" button. For reference, see ''Figure 4.5''.'''Note:''' A task will be carried over to a new week's timesheet if the task is unfinished.<br/>[[Image:timesheet_edit_task.JPG|center|650px|Figure 4.5 - Editing a Task]]
