Use the Suggested Items List

The Suggested Items list help you easily locate the work items that should probably be on your time sheet, so that you do not need to search for them.

What's included in the Suggested Items list

In general, the Suggested Items list include the following items:

Items that are both assigned to you and which you are scheduled to work on during the current time period.
Items that were on your previous time sheet and are still open.

Time Management automatically generates the Suggested Items list and presents it on the Suggested Items tab. You cannot revise the Suggested Items list.

The date and time when the Suggested Items list was most recently updated is shown at the top of the Suggested Items tab. If you want to ensure that the Suggested Items list is up to date, click Update.

In addition to the Item and Description columns, the Suggested Items list includes a Reason column that indicates why the item was included in the list.

Items that meet the following requirements are listed in the Suggested Items list:
