Logging time

Four ways in, depending on how you work.

The form

Log time in the nav. Best when you know exactly what you’re recording.

Field	Notes
Project	Only projects you’re on. Missing one? You’re not assigned yet.
Phase	Only appears if the project has phases.
Date	Defaults to today. Backdating is fine.
Start time	Defaults to 09:00. This form asks for one — entries with no start time come from the calendar’s Untimed row or the full-week action.
End time or duration	Pick with the toggle, then give whichever you know. In Duration mode you can enter minutes (90) or hours (1:30).
Billable	On by default, and marked counts toward budget so you can see what it does.
Note	Required on some projects; the form tells you which.
Znuny ticket	Links the entry to a support ticket, when Znuny is set up.

The calendar

Click an empty slot on your week and the form opens with that day and time already filled. Best for reconstructing a day you didn’t log as you went.

Entries without a start time land in a tray above the calendar rather than in a slot — they happened that day, but not at a particular hour. That’s a normal way to log; it just can’t be drawn on a grid.

The timer

Start it, stop it, done. See using the timer.

Slack

If you live in Slack, you can log from there without opening the app. Your admin can point you at the commands.

Logging a full week

One action fills a standard week for you: five 8-hour days, Monday to Friday, on one project. It’s built for people assigned full-time to a single project, as a starting point you then correct.

The entries it writes have no start time, so they land in the calendar tray rather than in slots — and they aren’t rounded.

It adds — it doesn't replace

Logging a full week does not check what’s already there. Run it on a week you’ve partly filled in and you’ll have both — 40 hours on top of whatever you already logged. Run it twice and you’ll have 80.

If a week is already partly logged, fix the gaps by hand instead.

Fixing an entry

Open it and change it. Your own time is yours to edit.

Two exceptions:

• Entries imported from Timely are read-only. They came from the old system and are kept as history. If one is wrong, tell an admin — it can’t be edited here.
• Once time has been billed, it stops being editable. It’s on an invoice a client has; changing it would make the record disagree with what was sent.

If an admin edits one of your entries, that’s recorded — who, what, and when.

Rounding

Some clients are billed in fixed blocks. On those projects your duration is rounded up to the next block when you save: on a 15-minute project, 20 minutes becomes 30.

It’s set per project — a phase can set its own — and comes from the client’s contract. Rounding applies only when the entry is billable and has a start time; a non-billable entry, or one with no start time, is left exactly as you typed it.

It happens at save time, so what you see afterwards is what will be billed.

Slack

Log without opening the app:

/timelog        Opens the log-time dialog right there in Slack
/timer-today    What you've logged today
/timer-week     Your week so far

There’s more in using the timer for driving timers from Slack.
