Timesheets

This guide covers logging time against a project or a specific task.

Purpose

This answers: "How much time is actually going into this project, and where?"

Logging Time

A timesheet entry records a date, how much time was spent (hours and minutes), and what it was spent on — a project on its own, or a specific task within one. A description explains what the time went toward. Entries have a status of In Progress or Completed.

Only someone actually involved in the project or task — a manager or member of either — can log time against it, and an ordinary member can only log time for themselves.

How Visibility Is Decided

  1. Ownership. Everyone can log and see their own time entries.
  2. Being a manager. Project or task managers can see and log time across their project.
  3. Permissions. Company-wide timesheet visibility requires the relevant permission.

Good to Know

  • Time is entered in hours and minutes, not decimal hours — a quick, familiar format for logging a day's work.
  • A timesheet entry against a task must belong to that task's own project — time can't be logged against a task outside the project it lives in.
Time logged, work accounted for.
