Activity log: Timesheets
The timesheet activity log(Reports > Activity log > Timesheets) shows timesheet activity taken in the account. This includes:
- New time entries.
- Deleted time entries.
- Starting and stopping a timer.
- Edits made to time entries (such as changing the project, task, date, and/or hours).
- The person who made changes to a timesheet, and the person whose timesheet was changed.
- Hours moved in bulk from one project/task to another.
- Hours marked as invoiced or uninvoiced.
How the action was made
Alongside the person’s name, the log shows a badge when an action came from somewhere other than someone working directly in Harvest. You may see badges for:
- via Harvest AI — the change was made by Harvest AI acting on an instruction that person sent in the chat.
- via API — the change came through the Harvest API, usually from an integration or script.
- via bulk action — the change was part of a bulk action.
- via import — the entry was imported.
- via duplication — the entry was created by duplicating another entry.
Harvest AI only ever acts on an instruction sent by a person in the chat, so the action is still attributed to that person — the badge tells you the change was carried out by Harvest AI on their behalf rather than typed in by hand.
