In IceHrm, there are two ways of recording number of hours in time sheets.

Before starting to use time sheets, please make sure you have configured projects and clients by going to **Admin -> Projects** and **Admin -> Clients.**

Now let us explore the different ways of recording hours in time sheets.

### First Method

Go to **Time Management -> Time Sheets -> All My Time Sheets** and click on edit.

This is the default method of recording number of hours in time sheets.

Employees can simply click on the column they want and add the number of hours as shown below: The system will automatically calculate the total hours for each day.

### Second Method

In the second method, your employee will be able to add time entries with more details like Start Time, End Time, Details, Projects and so on.

First go to **System -> Settings -> System** and enable the **System:Time-sheet Entry Start and End Time Required** setting.

Now if you go back to **Time Management -> Time Sheets -> All My Time Sheets** and click on edit you will see the below interface:
