# Timesheet Overview

## What is a Timesheet? 

A [Timesheet](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/timesheet.md) is a record to capture time spent delivering services for a given [Resource](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md). This includes information about the [Appointment](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/appointment.md) or [Shift](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/shift.md) related to the service, any breaks taken, travel times where applicable, as well as any other information that must be reported.

[Timesheets](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/timesheet.md) are comprised of [Timesheet Entries](/maica-knowledge-base/timesheets/timesheet-overview/create-a-timesheet-entry.md).  

## What is a Timesheet Entry? 

[Timesheet Entries](/maica-knowledge-base/timesheets/timesheet-overview/create-a-timesheet-entry.md) are used to track the hours worked by a [Resource](/maica-knowledge-base/getting-started/maica-key-concepts/resource.md) for a particular service within a particular Appointment as part of Maica. They can also be created manually for any additional requirements. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Timesheet Entries in Maica are automatically generated after an `Appointment` is `Completed`. This can be configured on a `Resource`  record by setting the `Timesheet Management` dropdown to `Enabled` , or within your `Maica Settings`.
