Track compliance per project

The org-wide compliance dashboard tells you who filed their hours. The project-scoped view answers the project lead’s sharper question: of the hours my team logged this week, how much actually landed on my project?

Open the project compliance view

1. Open the project and select the Compliance tab (it sits in the Finance group of tabs).

2. Use the week navigator to move between weeks.

The view shows summary cards for Compliance rate, Hours expected, Hours logged total, and Hours on this project, plus a per-member table. Each row carries the member’s status badge, their hours on this project, their total hours for the week, and an allocation bar showing what share of their week went to this project.

Access mirrors the budget view: project Owners and Managers see it, as do org admins with the timesheet enforcement permission. Regular project members do not.

The total-hours rule

By default, compliance here uses the same expectation as the org-wide view: a member who hit their weekly total counts as Compliant on this project even if only a small slice of their week was logged here. The allocation bar is what surfaces that nuance; a green badge with a 15% allocation tells you “they did their week, just mostly elsewhere.”

This is deliberate. Without it, every member working across two projects would show as non-compliant on both.

Scale expectations with allocation

If you want the project view to judge members against this project specifically, set an allocation on the project’s Members tab. Give a member an allocation percentage (0 to 100) and two things change for them, in this view only:

• Their expected hours scale by the allocation. Someone expected 40 hours a week at 50% allocation is expected to log 20 hours here.
• Compliance compares their hours on this project, not their weekly total.

Members without an allocation keep the total-hours behavior, so you can adopt allocations gradually, one member at a time.

Note

Allocation affects only this Compliance tab. The Capacity Planner, Finance figures, and org-wide compliance are not changed by it.

FAQs

Why does a member show Compliant here but Partial on the org dashboard? They cannot, under the default rule: both compare the same weekly total. A mismatch can appear only when the member has an allocation set here, because this view then compares project hours instead.

Does cost at risk appear in the project view? No. The currency figure lives on the org-wide dashboard, described in Monitor timesheet compliance. The project view focuses on hours and allocation.

Who can set a member’s allocation? Whoever can manage the project’s members, on the project’s Members tab. Empty means no allocation, which keeps the default behavior.
