Time Tracking

The Time Tracking page is where you log your working hours. You can start and stop a timer in real time, add manual entries for time you forgot to track, and view your daily timesheet. Your manager reviews your time logs and approves or rejects them.

Go to Sidebar → Time Tracking to get here.

Time tracking is important because it helps your manager understand how much time is being spent on each project. Make it a habit to log your time daily.

Timer Card

The Timer Card is at the top of the page. It works in two modes:

When no timer is running (inactive)

You’ll see a form with three fields:

Project (required) — Select the project you’re about to work on from the dropdown
Description (optional) — Write a short note about what you’ll be working on (e.g., “Homepage design revisions”)
Start button — Click this to start the timer

The Start button stays disabled until you select a project.

When a timer is running (active)

Once you start a timer, the card changes to show:

A large elapsed time display in HH:MM:SS format (e.g., 01:23:45) that counts up in real time
A pulsing dot to indicate the timer is running
The project name you’re tracking time for
Your description (if you entered one)
The start time (e.g., “Started at 10:30 AM”)
A red Stop button to end the timer

When you click Stop, the elapsed time is logged automatically and appears in your daily timesheet below.

Start the timer when you begin working and stop it when you take a break or finish. This way, your time logs are accurate and your manager can see exactly what you worked on.

Daily Timesheet

Below the timer, you’ll see your daily timesheet. This shows all time entries for a specific day.

Navigating Dates

At the top of the timesheet section, you’ll see:

A left arrow button to go to the previous day
The current date in the center (shows “Today” if it’s the current day, otherwise shows the full date like “Monday, 9 March”)
A right arrow button to go to the next day (disabled if you’re already on today — you can’t go into the future)

Time Entries

Each time entry in the list shows:

A status icon on the left (amber hourglass for Pending, green checkmark for Approved, red X for Rejected)
The project name
The start and end time (e.g., “10:30 AM - 12:15 PM”), or “(running)” if the timer is still active
A description (if you added one)
The duration on the right (e.g., “1h 45m”)
The status label below the duration (Pending, Approved, or Rejected)

Daily Totals

At the top of the timesheet, you’ll see:

The number of entries for that day (e.g., “3 entries”)
The total time logged for the day (e.g., “5h 30m total”)

If there are no entries for a day, you’ll see a “No time logged” message with a suggestion to start the timer or add a manual entry.

Manual Entry

Sometimes you forget to start the timer, or you need to log time after the fact. That’s what Manual Entry is for.

Click the “Manual Entry” button in the top-right corner of the page
A dialog box opens with a form:
- Project (required) — Select the project from the dropdown
- Start Time (required) — Pick the date and time you started working
- End Time (required) — Pick the date and time you stopped working
- Description (optional) — What you worked on
Click “Add Entry” to save

The entry will appear in your daily timesheet with a “Pending” status, just like timer-based entries.

Manual entries are great for logging time you forgot to track — like a meeting or a quick design review. Just make sure the start and end times are accurate.

Time Log Statuses

Every time entry you create starts with a Pending status. Your manager then reviews it and either approves or rejects it. Here’s what each status means:

Status	Color	What it means
Pending	Amber	Your time log has been submitted and is waiting for your manager to review it
Approved	Green	Your manager has reviewed and approved your time log
Rejected	Red	Your manager has rejected your time log (they may have a reason, check with them)

If a time log is rejected, it means your manager had a concern about it. Reach out to them to understand why and whether you need to re-submit a corrected entry.

Best Practices

Log time daily — Don’t wait until the end of the week. It’s harder to remember what you worked on days later.
Use the timer — It’s the most accurate way to track time since it records the exact start and end.
Add descriptions — Even a short note like “Bug fixes for checkout page” helps your manager understand where the time went.
Check your statuses — Glance at your timesheet regularly to make sure your logs are being approved. If you see rejections, follow up.
