Did you know you can enter your time into Deltek Vision from your iPhone or iPad?  I don’t know anyone that gets excited about filling in their timesheet, but the Deltek Vision Timesheet app allows me the ability to access my timesheet no matter where I am. For users that travel or are away from the office, it allows a convenient method to update your time on the fly.  Sorry, no more excuses for those on the road.

To set up the app, I searched “Deltek” from my iPhone app.  I clicked install and obtained my server name from my IT person to sync to my Deltek Vision database. The installation was simple.  The added security of a 4-digit pin also provides secure access to the app.  There is no syncing between my desktop and my phone. The information is automatically updated in real-time.

It’s easy to add a project to my timesheet and the favorite feature allows me to keep my frequently used projects. The project did, of course, have to be active and approved for use in processing.  With the iPhone 4s, I’m able to use the voice-to-text feature to speak my timesheet comments.  A very helpful feature when your drinking your morning coffee.  

Kudos to Deltek for this free, user-friendly app.  Now I can access my timesheet anywhere, anytime.
