Track time from Time tracking entries
4 minute read
In the Time tracking entries you can start tracking time without specifying the project or task. This feature is especially helpful when you don’t have a defined task, as it allows you to track the services you’re providing.
If you’ve been tracking your time for the purpose of reporting and invoicing, you can select the entries and transfer to a timesheet for the corresponding period.

After you have stopped the timer, you can see the detailed lines that are associated with the Time tracking entry. This lets you track actual time spent on working on the task, with all breaks in between. For example, at some point, you may have begun working on a task and spent 8 hours on it, during that time took a couple of breaks in between.
On the Detailed Time tracking entries is allowed to adjust Start, Ending time and Description as well, or to delete it.
Be aware if there is only one Detailed Time tracking for the Time Tracking entry, changing the Description on one of them will update both the Time tracking entry and Detailed Time tracking. If there are multiple details with the same Description, and you update the Time tracking entry then all Detailed Time tracking will be updated.
Changes in Start or Ending time and deletion of some of detailed entries will affect the Time tracking entry accordingly.
By clicking on the value in Tracked column, you will be able to see a list of Detailed Time tracking entries associated with the entry.
Note
The column Tracked on the Time tracking entries shows the total number of hours spent on a task, as recorded in the Tracked column of the Detailed Time tracking entries. This total does not include breaks taken during the work period.Tracking time in BC mobile
