Generate Structured Timesheet Report with Avatars
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the creation of a structured timesheet report in HTML format, including user avatars and formatted tables, from raw timesheet data.
About This Workflow
This workflow demonstrates how to generate a well-structured timesheet report. It takes raw timesheet data, processes it to include user avatars, sorts the entries by user, task, and date, and finally converts it into an HTML report. The report is organized by user, then by task, with detailed entries and total hours per task. It also includes custom styling for the tables and a footer with the generation date.

- Avatar Integration: Fetches user avatars from provided URLs using HTTP Request and prepares them for embedding.
- Data Merging: Combines timesheet data with avatar binary data.
- Data Sorting: Sorts timesheet entries by user, task, and date for logical report structure.
