Record time

Timesheets are dated lines: each one carries a date, a project, an optional task, a description, and the hours spent. You add them in two places — on the task itself, under its Timesheets tab, or in the Timesheets app, where My Timesheets holds your own entries. There is no approval step; a line counts as soon as it is saved, and managers review everyone's entries in All Timesheets.

Log hours on a task

1. Open a task in Projects.
2. Go to the Timesheets tab.
3. Click Add a line, enter a description and the hours in Time Spent, then save. The date defaults to today; change it if you are logging past work.

The hours roll up to the task and the project, so you see total effort against the work. If a task has no Timesheets tab, timesheets are turned off on that project — enable them in the project's settings.

Add lines in My Timesheets

Use the Timesheets app to log a full day across several projects in one list.

1. Open Timesheets ▸ My Timesheets.
2. Click New to start a line in the list.
3. Set the date and pick the project, and the task if you track at that level.
4. Enter a description and the hours in Time Spent, then save.

Repeat for each block of work. The Total at the bottom of the Time Spent column sums your logged hours; filter with Today or This Week to check a day or a week at a glance.

Review your team's time

Managers open Timesheets ▸ All Timesheets to see every entry in the workspace. Filter by date range, or group by employee, project, or task, to check that time is being logged, and edit any line that needs correcting. There is no submit-and-approve cycle: entries are trusted as entered, so make this review part of the week before you bill.

Report on time

Managers get three ready-made reports under Reporting ▸ Timesheets: By Employee, By Project, and By Task. Each groups logged hours so you see who spent time where. Switch to the pivot view to cross two dimensions, such as employees against projects, or to the graph view for a chart.

Timesheets are not clock-ins

Clocking in and out with Attendance is a separate system. Payroll reads attendance; projects read timesheets; clocking in creates no timesheet line. A team that needs both clocks in for the day and logs task hours here.
