Updated over 3 weeks ago

The Overview

The Time Tracking feature helps you monitor how much time your team spends on client files and individual tasks. You can track time automatically or manually and mark entries as billable or non-billable, giving you clear visibility into effort, productivity, and billing.

Use Case

Time Tracking is useful when you need to:

  • Understand how long tasks and projects actually take

  • Helps identify time-consuming tasks and patterns

  • Improve time management and resource planning


How to Enable Time Tracking

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Navigate to Project Settings

  3. Open the Task Settings tab

  4. Enable Time Tracking and/or Time Estimate

Once enabled, Time Tracking options become available across tasks and the global New button.


After enabling the feature, you will see:

  • A Time Tracked column in the task listing

  • A Time Estimate column in the task listing

  • Time entry options under the global New button


Track Time from the Task Listing

Time Estimate

  • Click the Time Estimate column

  • Enter the estimated time in the format 10h30m


Time Tracked

Click the Time Tracked column to open the time entry options. You can choose between:

Timer (Automatic Tracking)

  • Starts recording time automatically for the selected task

  • Add a Timer Note for reference

  • Mark the entry as Billable if applicable

Add Time Manually

When selecting Time Entry (Manual), provide:

  • Date: Select the date for the entry

  • Time: Enter duration or start–end time

  • Timer Note: Add notes if needed

  • Billable: Mark the entry as billable if applicable

Once saved, the time entry is created for that task.


Track Time from the Global New Button

Click New and choose one of the following options:

  • Manual Time Entry

  • Start Timer (automatic time recording)

Add a Manual Time Entry from the Global New Button

When selecting Time Entry (Manual), fill in the following fields:

  • Client Name: Select the client (Mandatory)

  • Project Name: Displays projects linked to the selected client

  • Task: Select the related task

  • Date: Choose the date for the entry

  • Time: Enter duration or start–end time

  • Timer Note: Add notes for reference

  • Billable: Mark the entry as billable if applicable

Start Automatic Time Tracking from the Global New Button

When you select Start Timer:

  • Enter the client, project, task, and other required details

  • Date and time are recorded automatically based on the current time

Note: You can log time directly from the global New button by selecting only the Client. Project and task selection is optional.


Stop Time Tracking

  • Click the red ◼ Stop button in the Time Tracked column within a task

  • Or click the Stop button in the header

If a timer is running and you switch to another client, you will be prompted to either switch the timer to the new client or keep it running for the current one.


Edit and Delete Time Entries

Once time entries are added (manually or automatically), you can view the total logged time using the expandable option. This allows you to see each individual time entry.

From the three-dot (⋯) menu, you can:

  • Edit: Opens a pop-up with pre-filled details that you can modify

  • Delete: Remove incorrect or mistakenly added time entries


Time Logs

Time Logs act as a daily activity record for you and your team, showing all tracked time entries.

How to View Time Logs

  1. Go to Reports

  2. Select Time Logs

Managing Time Logs

  • Use the Action column to edit or delete entries

  • Search for a specific user using the search bar

  • By default, logs from the last 30 days are shown

  • You can filter logs for periods longer than 30 days

Staff users can view and edit only their own logs, while Admin users can view and edit logs for all users.
