Logging Time


Logging Time

Mandatory Work Description

Adminstrators can choose whether worklog description is mandatory or not for Timetracker users. By default, description is optional.

Maximum hours per day per user

Here you can define the maximum loggable hours per day for Timetracker users. Empty field means there is no limit.

Eg.: 6, 8 or 6.5

Users can log time up to this number of days (0-365) into the past compared to the given day. Empty means it is unlimited. To allow a user to log work only for the given day, enter zero.

Logging time to the future

Users can log time up to this number of days (0-365) into the future compared to the given day. Empty means it is unlimited. To allow a user to log work only for the given day, enter zero.
(info) In the Permission Settings you can add groups for which this will be not valid and they will still be able to create/edit worklog in the configured period.



Non-working Issues


This feature is designed to manage non-working, non-billable projects and/or issues. This feature can be useful if you have a dedicated project or issues for non-work activities, eg. for lunch.
