Need to add hours for a task an employee forgot to log, or correct the time spent on a project? Time Entries for Tasks lets managers and administrators manually add or edit time logs for employees, so all project work is tracked accurately for billing and analysis. There are two ways to add and edit time.
1. Adding or editing time directly in the timesheet
For quick edits or additions on a day that already has entries, work directly in the timesheet grid.
- Go to Project Tasks > Time Entries for Tasks.
- Use the filters to load the correct employee and date range.
- Find the day you want to edit (columns are organized by task).
- To add time to a task, enter the hours worked in the adjacent cell. It saves automatically.
- Alternatively, select a task in the dropdown menu. You can also add a new task column with the blue + button.
2. Adding manual time entries in the Task Time Management window
This is the proper method for adding new time entries if your company uses projects and customers, not just tasks.
Prerequisite: enforce the task reporting flow (admin setup)
To make sure time is logged accurately against customers, projects and tasks, an administrator should enable this one-time setting:
- Go to Company Profile.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Enable Enforce Customer Project Task Selection flow to require this hierarchy.
- Click Update to save.
Adding the entries
- Go to Project Tasks > Time Entries for Tasks.
- Filter by employee and date range, then click Show results.
- Click the blue Task hours total to open the Task Time Management window.
- In the pop-up:
- Select the entry date.
- Click + Create to add a new row.
- Choose the Customer, Project and Task from the dropdowns.
- Enter the hours in the Task hours field.
- Optionally, add Notes.
- Add multiple entries per day with + Create.
- Click Update to save all entries.
