To start tracking, navigate to the Track page. You can start tracking immediately, even if you haven't created your projects yet.
There are two different ways to enter your hours:
Timesheet view: fill out a weekly timesheet
Day view: add time for a single day
Both views will allow you to:
use a timer or enter hours manually
add notes of what you are working on
add expenses
attach files (allowed file extensions: .pdf, .csv, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .txt, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .heic, and .heif)
use tags
You can switch between the Timesheet and Day views here:
1. Timesheet view
The Timesheet view enables you to quickly fill out a timesheet for the entire period. You will want to use it if you are used to manually entering your hours in a timesheet at the end of the day or a week. Here you will be able to quickly see how much of your time was spent on each task in a week.
Start the timer in the Timesheet view
To begin, you need to select a Project for the row first. Then you can start the timer for the Project by pressing the 'Play' icon at the end of the row:
The timer will start running in the input field for today's date. You can stop it by pressing the 'Stop' button.
If you start the timer on the same row again, a new entry will be created on the same day:
Add more details to your time logs
If you need to add more details to each entry (such as a description, start and end time, or expenses), this is also possible, like this:
If you add a new row with the same Project and Task that were already entered, a sub-row will appear under the row with such Project and Task. This way, you can enter multiple time slots for a Project/Task.
*** Please note that if you click on the 'Delete' icon next to the row totals, all entries for the Project/Task will be deleted. To remove individual logs, edit only the specific field.
Copy the previous timesheet
If you are mostly working on the same projects and tasks every timesheet period, you can simply copy your entries from the previous period. You have two options:
Copy only the rows of selected Projects and Tasks, without time logs.
Or, copy the entire timesheet, along with the time logs, with all the details (except attachments).
Copying will not override other entries in your timesheet; it will just add the copied items.
Upload an Excel timesheet
The Timesheet Track view also allows you to create your timesheet by simply uploading an Excel file. Your file will be matched with existing projects and tasks. Please note that no new projects or tasks will be created from the file.
After uploading the file, you'll see a preview where you can correct any mistakes before finalizing.
Working on weekends?
If you need to add non-working days to your timesheet, click on the eye icon:
Administrators view
Administrators can check and edit the timesheets of other users by switching to a different user here:
2. Day view: track real-time
You will want to use this view if you need to track exactly how much time you spend on each task. This view also allows you to:
use ‘Favourite logs’ for recurring activities
switch between activities
copy a time log with all the details
Start the timer in the Day view
By clicking ‘New timer’, the timer will start running right away, and you can add log details later.
Or, you can also enter details in the time log form first and then click 'Start timer':
Here's how to stop the running time log:
You can then resume a time log, like this:
Or you can simply switch between activities. This action will stop tracking your current activity and start a log with the new activity.
Manual entries in the Day view
By clicking ‘Add time log’ you will be able to manually enter the start and end time or duration in the time log form. This way you can enter time for the past as well.
Here's how to copy an existing time log with all details:
Group time logs
The recorded time logs can be grouped or shown individually. If you group them, all the time logs that are exactly the same will be grouped as seen below. If you ungroup them, they will be displayed individually and ordered chronologically.
Display the timeline
To identify any gaps in your day, you can display your time logs on a visual timeline:
Favorite time logs
If you work on tasks that recur frequently, you can add them to your favorites, so you will be able to start them in no time.
Keyboard shortcuts
You can use these keyboard shortcuts to perform actions without using the mouse:
A - open a new "Add time log" form
Shift + 1,2,3,4... - start/add a Favorite log
Ctrl + Enter - add a time log
Ctrl + Shift + Enter - start the timer. ** Pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter while the timer is running will stop the current time log and start a new time log.
3. Mobile app
If you are tracking time on the go, you can download the My Hours mobile app:
4. Browser extension
You can also install a browser extension to add logs without visiting the web app every time.
5. Tracking reminders
The tracking reminders can be set on a daily and periodic basis, in case users forget to enter their time or to remind them of their target hours.
The reminders are sent via email and as mobile push notifications. Read more about reminders here >>>
6. Switch duration input format to decimal
If you would prefer to input your time in decimal format (1,5 hours) instead of hh:mm:ss format (1:30:00), go to your Profile and select the option to 'Enter duration in decimal format'.
7. Adjust the tracking form
Go to the Tracking form section of Account settings to manage the fields that will be visible to users on the time log input form. The settings will be applied to the entire account (all users).
Here you can hide certain input fields, mark inputs as required, create custom fields, enable timer-only mode, breaks, expenses, etc.
8. Assigned tasks (optional)
If you assign tasks to a user, they will find them in the 'My tasks' dropdown.
Timesheet view:
Day view:
This is, however, not necessary for them to be able to track time on these tasks; they just need to be assigned to a project.
