Filling out a timesheet at the end of a shift or week usually means going back through daily diaries to piece together who worked, when they started, and when they finished. Storm can do that for you.
By referencing previously completed daily diaries in the same folder, Storm looks up the hours for each worker and drafts your timesheet automatically — ready for you to review and submit.
What Storm Can Do With Timesheets
Reference completed daily diaries in the same folder to populate worker hours automatically
Fill hours for multiple workers across multiple days in a single pass
Attach a spreadsheet or exported timesheet for Storm to cross-reference
Handle multilingual crews — Storm detects spoken language and outputs in the template's destination language
Run multiple sessions — add late entries or corrections without overwriting what's already there
Before You Start
Your daily diaries and timesheet must be in the same Dashpivot folder — Storm can only reference forms within the same folder.
Use exact times in your diaries where possible (e.g. "08:30" rather than "around 8") — Storm flags approximate times for review rather than assuming.
How to Do It
💻 On Dashpivot Web
Open your timesheet form in Dashpivot.
In the Storm AI Form Fill canvas at the bottom of the form, type your directive — for example:
"Look up start and finish times from this week's daily diaries and fill in the timesheet."
"Use the daily diaries from Monday to Friday to populate the hours for each worker."
Optionally, attach a spreadsheet or exported timesheet document using the paperclip icon for Storm to cross-reference.
Click Fill ↑.
Review the draft, make any corrections, and save or submit manually.
📱 On Dashpivot Mobile
Open your timesheet form in Dashpivot Mobile.
Tap the Storm button at the bottom of the form to open the AI Form Fill canvas.
Type or speak your directive — for example:
"Look up start and finish times from this week's daily diaries and fill in the timesheet."
"Use the daily diaries from Monday to Friday to populate the hours for each worker."
Tap the green arrow to submit.
Review the draft, make any corrections, and submit as normal.
✏️ Good to Know
Be specific about the time period. Saying "this week" or "Monday to Friday" helps Storm find the right records.
Storm cites which diary it pulled from. When Storm references a historical form, it tells you which record informed each fill decision — so you can verify the source.
If Storm can't find a matching form, it will tell you — it won't guess.
You can also attach a document. If you have a spreadsheet or exported timesheet to cross-reference, attach it to the canvas using the paperclip icon. Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV.
Multilingual workers? Storm detects the spoken language and outputs in the template's destination language — useful for mixed-language crews.
Storm drafts, you decide. Storm never submits forms on your behalf — you always review before saving or submitting.
FAQs
Can Storm fill a timesheet from multiple daily diaries at once?
Yes. Storm can look up start and finish times across multiple daily diaries in the same folder in a single pass — just specify the time period in your directive, for example "this week" or "Monday to Friday."
Do my daily diaries and timesheet need to be in the same folder?
Yes. Storm can only reference forms within the same Dashpivot folder. Make sure your daily diaries and timesheet are stored in the same folder before running AI Form Fill.
Can I attach a spreadsheet or document for Storm to reference?
Yes. Use the paperclip icon in the AI Form Fill canvas to attach PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or CSV files. Storm extracts the content and uses it as additional context when filling the timesheet.
Can Storm fill timesheets for workers who speak different languages?
Yes. Storm detects the spoken language in voice input and outputs content in the template's destination language. Results may vary depending on recording quality and terminology.
Will Storm submit my timesheet automatically?
No. Storm drafts the timesheet for you to review — you always save or submit manually.
