ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products manage timesheet data associated with multiple billing types. Embodiments of the present invention are unique in that each billing type is visually displayed as a separate database record when in actuality it is simply a pivoted representation of attributes on a single record. A method involves retrieving timesheet data associated with a specific timesheet. Each instance of the timesheet data associated with a date and multiple billing types are stored on a server as a single record. The method also involves pivoting the timesheet data to display as separate records the timesheet data associated with a date and multiple billing types. Each billing type associated with actual time entry is displayed and associated with one of the records as displayed. This combination of data storage and data display represents distinct improvements in levels of efficiency for both a timesheet user and a timesheet manager.
