Timesheets¶
Timesheets record the time your employees spend on the tasks of your projects. The hours logged feed the progress of the tasks, the profitability of the projects, and the invoicing of the work.
Configuration¶
Time is logged on the tasks of the projects where it is allowed. Open a project’s settings and enable Timesheets to log time on its tasks.
The database-wide options are under :
Project Time Unit – the unit in which time is stored and reported, usually Hours or Days.
Encoding Method – whether users enter their time in Hours or in Days. This only affects how the time is typed and displayed, not how it is stored.
Time Off – see Create Timesheets upon Time Off Validation.
