   2. Set up scale=Weekly; Start date = 02/02/2009; Finish Date = 01/31/2010 -> click submit.
      
      
3. Define a process that sends an action item when the a status of a timesheet is changed
   
   
   1. Go to Admin tool -> Processes -> click "New" button.
   2. Enter requested information: Process Name = "timesheet" Process ID = "timesheet".
   3. Process Definition: Objects = timesheet.
   4. Process Start Options -> Start option = "Auto"; Start event = "Update".
   5. Create a Manual action in Start step.
      
      
      1. Process Definition: Start Step-> Action -> click "New" button.
      2. Enter requested information: Action Name = "test"; Actions = "Approve"; Subject="test"; Assignees = "Admin " -> click "submit".
      3. Set up a post-condition for the start step,
         (Action Item.Start.test Number of assignees with Status Open = 0) Then Go to=Finish.
      4. Validate and activate the process.
         
         
4. Submit a timesheet for "user1"
   
   
   1. Go to Home -> Personal -> Timesheets -> select "user1"timesheet for the week of 02/02/09 ending 02/08/09.
   2. Enter some data -> submit this timesheet.
      
      
5. You should get AI with the details about the timesheet.

Expected Result: The time period in the action item should have an end date of 02/08/09 which matches the end date for the defined time period.
