Comments on timesheets are not immediately visible and require users to click into each comment to read its content. This is tedious for users, especially when staff leave a large number of comments on each timesheet, slowing down the review process.

To improve the user experience, implement an inline comment display feature in the timesheet GUI. Instead of requiring users to click into each comment, display the full comment text directly on the right side of the corresponding timesheet entry, with the ability to delete comments there also. The edit button could be there as well.

Suggested Implementation:

• Layout Adjustment: Add a dedicated column or panel on the right side of the timesheet interface to display comments associated with each timesheet entry.

• Comment Visibility: Show the full text of each comment inline, with a scrollable or collapsible section if the comment is lengthy to avoid cluttering the interface.

• Responsive Design: Ensure the comment display adapts to different screen sizes, possibly using a toggle to show/hide the comment panel on smaller screens.

• Performance Consideration: Optimize the loading of comments to prevent performance issues when displaying multiple comments at once.

• User Customization: Allow users to enable/disable inline comment visibility via a settings option, catering to users who prefer the current click-to-view approach.

Benefits:

• Improved Efficiency: Eliminates the need to click into each comment, reducing time spent reviewing timesheets.

• Enhanced Usability: Provides immediate access to critical information, improving the workflow for staff handling numerous comments.

• User Satisfaction: Addresses user feedback about tedious navigation, enhancing overall satisfaction with the software.
