Imagine that you\u2019ve been asked to track your time on a daily basis so that the information you provide is as accurate as possible to help your managers run the company. You understand the importance of accurate information but tracking your time also takes you away from your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve also been given security access to the Projects view in Dovico Timesheet because you occasionally need to adjust projects. Unfortunately, this adds to the delay of getting back to work because that\u2019s now the first view you\u2019re brought to when entering the software. In general, you only log into the system to track your time but now you\u2019re forced to expand and click a menu item to get to the My Timesheet view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if the software would just bring you to the last view you were in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What options are there to accomplish this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have access to the Projects view, you\u2019ll be brought to that view by default when you log into Dovico Timesheet. If you don\u2019t have access to the Projects view, however, you\u2019re brought to the last view you were in. What you need is a way to hide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways to hide the Projects view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. You can remove access to the view from the Security Group\u2019s settings that you\u2019ve been assigned to. This might not be desired because, when you need access to the view, you\u2019ll now need to contact your Dovico administrator to have the permissions adjusted.<\/li>
  2. You can hide the view from yourself temporarily by editing the menu. This is the approach that I recommend for this use case.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Hiding the Projects view from the menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


    As shown in the following image, to adjust the menu, hover over your name at the top-right of the screen and a drop-down will be shown. Click on the Edit Menu<\/strong> item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The next screen displayed allows you to adjust the visibility of the menu items by checking or unchecking them. You still have security access to these items when they\u2019re unchecked but they\u2019re hidden from the menu. More information about the Edit Menu feature can be found in the following article: How to Optimize Your Timesheet Menu<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As shown in the following image, under the Projects & Employees<\/strong> column, uncheck the Projects <\/strong>item and then click the Apply <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Projects view is no longer visible in the menu. If you need access to the view in the future, just edit the menu again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now that the Projects view has been hidden from the menu, if you go to the My Timesheet view, log out and then log back in, you\u2019ll be taken to the last view you were in which is the My Timesheet view in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In this article, you saw that by removing the Projects view from the menu you\u2019ll be brought to the view that you were in the last time you were in Dovico Timesheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can remove the Projects view from the menu by either adjusting the Security Group\u2019s settings that are applied to you or by editing the menu. Editing the menu is more convenient than adjusting the Security Group\u2019s settings because you can just re-show the menu item when you need access to it without impacting your Dovico administrator\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
