Track time for multiple categories

If your account uses itemized time tracking, day view allows you to track time for multiple categories on one project.

  1. On the day view, select the + icon next to your suggested time.
  2. Select a pre-defined project or time category. If your account does not have categories, select + Add a new blank row to add multiple notes for that day's project(s).

You can also select Report Time for Something Else to account for time worked outside your assigned project(s).

Use the timer

If your account uses hours + minutes or itemized time tracking, you can use a timer to record your daily activities. You can only have one timer running at a time.

Start the timer

  1. Go to day view on your timesheet.
  2. Hover over the row beneath the project or phase you want to work on and select Start Timer. The spinner icon shows you the timer is on.

You can close or minimize your browser window ; the timer keeps running. 

  1. When you're done, add time to your timesheet or close the timer without adding the time.

Forgot to stop the timer? 

  • If it's still running, close it and estimate how many hours you worked.
  • If you started a new timer, the original timer automatically stopped and added the tracked time to the associated project.
