   • Note: Admin should try to do these changes as soon as he installs the app. Changing the above settings can break the old timesheet records.
   • Admin can manage the labels for timesheet screens like Days, Date, Date with Days.
   • Admin can choose the week start day like Monday, Sunday. He/she just needs to go to the setup and select the day from the drop-down list.
   • Admin can choose whichever task field he/she wants to show on the dropdown list in the timesheet.
   • He can enable/disable submit for the approval button on the timesheet. He/she can go to the setup tab and select or deselect the Approval Process checkbox. If admin selects it, the approval option is disabled otherwise it will be enabled.
   • The Default Project object is the package's Project object. In case the Admin wants to use their own object, the admin can go to the setup screen and choose whatever sObject user wants to work with as a project.
   • Just like the Project sObject, The Default Task object is the package's Task object. You can go to the setup screen and choose whatever sObject you want to work with as a Task but there must be a relationship between selected task and selected project object.
   • Admin can mark a particular task as required. He/she can go to the setup tab and select the task required option. If the admin makes the task not required, the user can save a timesheet without entering the task value.
   • Admin can also choose whether he/she wants to show or hide the task option from the timesheet. If the admin hides the tasks, the user will not be able to see the task picklist on the timesheet screen.
