By default, owners and admins can manage other users’ time entries, i.e., view, edit, and delete them. Members can view their own time entries and those of other users, but cannot edit or delete them. Restricted members can only view, edit, and delete their own time entries.
Log time globally
Time tracking can now be accessed from anywhere in the app in the same place: in the top-right header menu:
We redesigned the logging dialog from the ground up so that, on the one hand, it no longer takes up the entire visible area and, on the other hand, it comes with various new features.
Three time tracking options
There are three tabs for different logging methods, with the Timer tab open by default.
Timer
With the timer, you can keep a stopwatch running alongside your work. As soon as you stop it, the time is saved automatically.
The stopwatch keeps running at the top-right edge of your screen, and you can stop it with one click on the stop icon.
Manual
Manual entry is very similar, with the difference that you can select the duration and the entry date separately.
From/To
The third entry option additionally lets you enter a start time and end time (clock times).
Log time in the task dialog
If you open time tracking from within the task dialog, the most recent entries by you and other people on this task are also shown (provided you have the required permissions).
Logging works the same way.
Log multiple entries in a row
The Save button in the time tracking dialog has a small downward arrow. If you click that area of the button, you are offered two save options:
- Save: Saves the entry and closes the dialog.
- Save + new: Saves the entry and keeps the dialog open so you can log another entry right away.
Log time in My times
There is a new main menu area called Times. This area is mainly about analyzing logged times. Currently, you will find two tabs there: My times and Time reports.
For both lists, you can create custom views – the feature works the same way as in other views.
The default view is grouped by calendar week and is filtered by default via the date picker to the current calendar week.
Time tracking in the future
By default, times can also be logged for future days. With the Time tracking in the future setting, time tracking can be blocked for future days.
- Allowed – Times can also be logged for future days.
- Not allowed – Times for future days cannot be logged.
💡 Tip:
This setting is useful if time bookings should only be made retrospectively or on the same day.
Time tracking in the past
By default, times can be logged indefinitely into the past. With the Time tracking in the past setting, time tracking for past months can be blocked after N working days in the current month.
- Allowed – Times can be logged indefinitely into the past.
- Not allowed – logging time in the past is blocked after N working days of the current month.
Logging time in the past is blocked after N working days of the current month.
Working days
The selection of working days determines after how many working days in the current month time logging for past months is blocked.
💡 Note:
This setting applies to time tracking for past months. Times within the current month are not affected.
Log time for guests
In tasks with restricted access (via the lock icon), members with read permissions are not allowed to log, edit, or delete times by default. This can be enabled with the Time tracking in locked tasks setting.
If Allowed is enabled, users with read permissions on locked tasks can log, edit, and delete their own times. If Not allowed is selected, time tracking in locked tasks remains disabled for these users.
💡 Note:
This setting only applies to tasks with restricted access (lock icon).
Where can I find these settings?
The three time tracking settings (Time tracking in the future, Time tracking in the past and Time tracking in locked tasks, ) are available exclusively in the Workspace Settings. To open or change these settings, you need admin or HR permissions.
Note
At the moment, you can only create times via this area if a time entry has already been created for the selected grouping (e.g., in the current calendar week). But don’t worry—this will change. In general, there will be more practical options for managing times.
As soon as there are times under a grouping, you can use the + at the grouping level to open the time tracking popup.
