I need to create a timesheet extension for one or more of my members

Introduction

Does one or more (but not all) of your reporters need an extension to their service term? Will they need to serve past the end date you initially indicated when creating and assigning them to a timesheet template? No worries, there's an easy two-step fix for that!

• Step 1: Update Your Timesheet Template End Date
• Step 2: Create Mass Blackout Dates for Members You're NOT Extending

Step 1: Update Your Timesheet Template End Date

IMPORTANT: Timesheet template end dates may be edited until the launch of the final timesheet period. After that, you'll need to reach out to us at support@americalearns.net for help here.

To update a template, follow these steps:

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Timesheets.
   
   
2. On the right, click Create & manage timesheet templates.
   
   
3. At the bottom, select the template that you’d like to update.
   
   
4. Find the section called Start & End Dates. Next to End Date, click the Edit link.
   
   
5. A window will open. Make your changes and click Save to update with your changes. 

Any changes and updates made to your template are saved automatically and happen instantaneously.

Step 2: Create Mass Blackout Dates for Members You're NOT Extending

Here’s how to add blackout periods for two or more Reporters simultaneously:

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Reporters, Staff, & Sites.
   
   
2. On the right, click Manage reporter accounts.
   
   
3. On the right, use the More menu to select Mass-Update Blackout Dates.
   
   
4. The next page will walk you through the four steps to setting up or removing a blackout period.
   
   Step 1: Select the Timesheet Template at issue.
   
   Step 2: Tell the Impact Suite if you are adding a period for Reporters’ accounts.
   
   Step 3: Set your blackout period’s start and end dates. (Start Date: Day after the service term ended for most members; End Date: The last day of your newly extended timesheet template)
   
   Step 4: Click Display all relevant Reporters below to choose which Reporters’ accounts should be updated.
   
   
   1. Select the names of the Reporters for whom you want to create the blackout date.
      
      
   2. Leave unchecked the Reporters you want to keep the timesheet extension.
      
      
   3. Click Update Selected Members.
      
      
5. You’ll be asked to review and confirm your selection.
   
   
   1. If everything looks good, click I confirm my selection
      
      
   2. Click Update to save
      
      
      
6. On the following page, you’ll see a confirmation of which Reporters’ accounts were updated.
