Log your time

The weekly sheet, the timer, time on a phone, and entering time for someone else.

Go to My timesheet. Each line is a job or project, and each column is a day. The top shows your hours against the hours expected this week.

Type your hours

1. Under the lines, choose + Add a job or project.
2. Click the box for the day.
3. Type the time as 1:30, 1.5 or 90m.

It saves when you leave the box. To remove time, clear the box. A day has up to 24 hours, and you can't log time for days still to come.

Use the arrows to move between weeks, and This week to come back.

Use the timer

1. Under What are you working on?, choose the job or project.
2. Add a note if you want one, and click Start.
3. Click Pause and Resume as you need.
4. Click Stop and save. The time goes on today's box.

Each person has one timer. Starting another saves the one that was running. Your business can round a timer's time up to 5, 6, 10, 15 or 30 minutes. See Settings.

To throw the time away, click the X beside Stop and save.

On a phone

The sheet shows one day at a time. Tap a day along the top to change it. You can add the app to your home screen from your browser.

Days off

A day off shows at the top of its column with the reason. Holidays and approved leave from Ellibo HR lower the hours expected from you, so you aren't reminded about those days.

Time from your other apps

On the Standard plan and up, time from Projects, Field Service, Helpdesk and Manufacturing shows on your sheet by itself. Each line is marked with the app it came from.

• Projects - change it in the box, as with your other lines. A day with several project entries is read-only on the sheet. Change them in Projects.
• Field Service and Helpdesk - click the time to open the day's details, change your own time there, and click Save.
• Manufacturing - read-only. You can see the details, but you can't change the time here.

Project time needs a role in Projects. See Timesheets with your other apps.

Boxes you can't change

A box can't be changed when:

• the week has been sent for approval. Click Take back to change it.
• the week is approved. Ask your manager to reopen it.
• the time is up to a date your business has locked.
• the time is on an invoice. These boxes show as invoiced. Voiding the invoice frees them.

Enter time for someone else

A Manager can enter time for the people they manage, and an Admin can enter time for anyone. Use the name list at the top of My timesheet to choose whose week to open.

This is how people with no sign-in keep their time. See People and rates.

Next, send your week for approval.
