How Assigned Users See Timesheets
For assigned team members, the Timesheets view remains the same. When a user logs into Buildern and navigates to the Timesheets module, they will see the same layout and interface.
However, the actions and options available to them depend entirely on their assigned permissions.This ensures that each user only sees and interacts with the features relevant to their role.

Happy Building!
