User setup for Timesheets
This guide is the best page to send to a new user before they start using RevasOS Timesheets. It explains what the user needs to prepare, what each setup chapter is for, and where to go next.
What this guide covers
A new user usually needs only a small number of things before Timesheets becomes useful:
- Access to a RevasOS account.
- A desktop app or browser setup to open Timesheets easily.
- The mobile app, if they will work on the go.
- A quick overview of the desktop and mobile interfaces.
This page does not try to teach every operation. Instead, it gives the user a clear path to get ready quickly and then continue with the right guides.
Recommended path for a new user
If you are sending this page to a collaborator, this is the simplest order to follow:
Log in or create your account
Before a user can do anything in Timesheets, they need access to their RevasOS account.
This chapter is where the user understands:
- how to sign in if they already received access;
- how to create or complete their account if they are a new user;
- where their access to RevasOS starts.
For most organizations, this is the first step because all the rest depends on being able to enter the environment successfully.

Install RevasOS on desktop
Many users will work in Timesheets mainly from desktop. Installing the desktop app, or at least understanding how to access RevasOS from a workstation, makes daily use much smoother.
This chapter helps the user understand:
- how to open RevasOS from desktop;
- why a desktop installation can be useful for frequent users;
- where Timesheets fits inside the broader RevasOS environment.
This is especially important for users who manage entries, reports, and calendars throughout the workday.

Install the mobile app and sign in there
If the user needs to check time entries away from their desk, view calendars on the go, or use the mobile experience for attendance-related actions, they should also install the mobile app.
This chapter explains:
- why the mobile app matters;
- when it is useful compared with desktop;
- how it becomes part of the user's daily workflow.
Once the app is installed and the user signs in, they can move between desktop and mobile depending on what they need to do.
Explore the desktop interface
A new user should not start by memorizing every action. It is more useful to first understand how the interface is organized.
This chapter helps the user recognize:
- the dashboard and what it summarizes;
- the time entries list and calendar views;
- reports and filters;
- where editing, reporting, and exports happen.
Once a user understands the structure of the desktop interface, individual tasks become much easier to learn.

This chapter explains:
- what the home screen is for;
- where to find timesheets, calendars, and reports;
- how the mobile app differs from desktop;
- how users move between daily status, entries, and quick access actions.
This gives new users enough orientation to start using the app without feeling lost.
