Since multiple boxes may represent the same Time tracking entry, moving them across days individually is not possible to maintain accuracy in reflecting the corresponding time entries. Yet, you can easily drag and drop within the confines of a single day.Watch our short demo about the time tracking calendar in prymeTime (starts at 3:13).
To create time tracking

Working hours representation in the calendar
Working hours representation involves highlighting working hours based on individual norms, rather than a fixed schedule. Days with exceptions to the norm adjust accordingly: no hours when set to zero, and regular hours otherwise. More about setting norm times read here.
Within the calendar interface, untracked Time entries originating from the timesheet are visibly organized under the corresponding date header. These entries lack associated Time tracking entries and therefore have no start and end time. Users can change this by drag-and-drop functionality to position them precisely within the desired timeframe. Upon relocation, the system seamlessly generates a Time tracking entry for the specific time segment. Consequently, users can effectively commence tracking time for these entries.
Create/Update Time entries
Additionally, you can create and update Time entries in the timesheet directly from the calendar, just as you would in the Time tracking entries page. More about it read here.
Cerate Time Entry Indicators

Resource analysis is a crucial component of resource planning and project management. It involves evaluating and fine-tuning resource allocation, to maximize efficiency and ensure successful project execution.
Watch our short demo about Resource analysis in prymeTime (starts at 4:32).
5.1 - Scheduled Resource Forecast Analysis
Insights into resource allocation, availability, and forecasted revenue through matrix-based analysis of work assignments on projects.
The Schedule Resource Forecast Analysis is a matrix based on work assignments on projects. You can choose to view estimated hours or total amount.
This tool is valuable as it allows you to gain insights into forecasted revenue, resource allocation and availability, which can help with project planning and decision-making. It also provides a clear and organized way to visualize resource forecasts and potential constraints, enabling users to better manage their project resources.
You can filter it by various criteria, such as resource groups, line manager, skills, global dimensions, project and project status.
- Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Schedule Resource Forecast Analysis, and then choose the related link.
- Select a relevant page.
- Select the filters that align with your specific requirements or preferences.
Note
By selecting the specific amount in the matrix, you can access a detailed breakdown of the associated work assignments that contribute to that total.5.2 - Resource Expected Achievements
Insights into resource expected achievements and templates.
Resource Expected Achievements refers to the allocation and planning of work for a resource, related to project/resource managements.
It involves setting up various parameters for a resource, such as the number of hours they are expected to work, the percentage of those hours dedicated to customer-related work, the amount of time off (absence), and internal hours (work related to internal company matters).
The purpose of defining these expected achievements is to have a structured plan for how a resource’s time will be allocated and to ensure that the resource is working in alignment with the goals and objectives of the organization. By specifying these parameters and percentages, you can calculate and monitor how many hours the resource should be spending on customer-related tasks, internal activities, and their absence.
This approach helps in resource planning, workload management, and tracking progress toward specific objectives or contractual obligations. It also allows for more efficient and effective resource allocation, ensuring that resources are used optimally to meet project or organizational goals.
Expected Achievements Template
To calculate the expected achievements for resources, first it is needed to set up a template.
- Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Resource Expected Achievements, and then choose the related link.
- Create a template from Actions -> Expected Achievements Template.
- Specify the Start Date and End Date of when the template is valid to calculate resource achievements.
- Define resource management parameters in % such as Average Price, Absence %, Overtime%, Customer%, Internal %, Chargeable % ..etc.
- The above parameters will be later used to calculate Resource Expected Achievements.
Resource Expected Achievements
To view the expected achievements fo each resource, you need to create them first.
- From the Resource Expected Achievements go to Actions -> Create Resource Achievements.
- Select the Template Name,and whether you will create the achievements for a Resource/Resource Group/Resource Sub Group.
- Select the Period Type, Start Date and End Date corresponding to the period during which the expected achievements will start and end.
- Select OK and the expected achievement lines will be created.
- The hours for each of the parameters are calculated as a product of the total capacity for the selected period, and the % of each parameter from the template.
- Depending on the calculated parameters, and the Average Price, Expected Revenue is calculated for the selected period.
- You can filter on Resource, Resource Group, Resource Sub Group and Date, to retrieve the desired records.
5.3 - Resource Amount Analysis
Insights into resource efficiency, productivity and allocation.
Resource Amount Analysis refers to the process of examining and evaluating how cost is allocated and utilized by various resources within an organization.

Dragging time entries into a timeslot automatically sets the duration based on the entry’s quantity, seamlessly creating connected time tracking entries for enhanced tracking and efficiency.
Timesheet reminder for managers
Managers sometimes need to know who in their team has not submitted their timesheets so that they can help to get them submitted. An email with details for those who have not submitted their timesheets on time can help with that. The summary email provides a list of team members under a specific manager who have unsubmitted timesheets by the due date.

When a Default Work Type is needed on tasks, it must be defined on each task. By pre-defining the Default Work Type on project level, the users can skip selecting it on every new task, thus saving time. On defining default work type for the project, the user will be asked to copy the same Default Work Type to all tasks in the project. Also, every newly created task from the project will have the same Deafult Work Type. Projects that are being created from the template, will have Default Work Type copied from the template.

Application enhancements
Allowed Work Types
You can now define what work types are allowed for a given task. Different sets of work types can be defined in the Work Type Sets page. Each project task can then be set to only allow a specific set of work type on the Task Card. It is possible to define the allowed set of work types on the Project Card, this will then be the default for all new tasks, and you can optionally update the existing task. From the Work Type Sets page, existing projects can be updated with a selected Work Type Set.
Default Work Type
The Default Work Type fields and functionality is moved from the pryme Matters app to the pryme Time app. This does not cause any change to users.
Work Type as drop-down list
To increase productivity, the field Work Type has been changed from opening a new page when looking up work types to showing a drop-down list immediately.
Extended description in Time Tracking Entries
In the previous release, we integrated extended description functionality across several areas of the app, including project management, timesheet submission/approval, and invoicing views. In the new release, we have made further enhancements by adding it specifically to time tracking entries. This means that users can now activate and use extended description within the Time Tracking section, just as they can in other areas of the app.
