Time Tracking & Reports

Logging Time

Team members can log time against tasks:

1. Open a task assigned to you
2. Click Log Time
3. Enter: hours spent, date, and a short description of work done
4. Mark as billable or non-billable
5. Click Save

Alternatively, use the Timer:

1. Click the play button on any task to start the timer
2. Work on the task
3. Click stop when done — the time is automatically logged

Billable vs Non-Billable

• Billable — Time that can be invoiced to the client
• Non-Billable — Internal time (meetings, admin, learning)

This distinction is crucial for time-and-material projects where you bill by the hour.

Timesheets

View and manage all time entries:

1. Go to Tata > Timesheets
2. Filter by: project, team member, date range, billable status
3. Approve or reject entries (if approval workflow is enabled)
4. Export to CSV for payroll or invoicing

• Task Completion — Percentage of tasks completed
• Milestone Status — On track, at risk, or overdue
• Budget Burn — Planned budget vs actual spend
• Time Summary — Total hours logged, billable ratio
• Team Workload — Hours per member, over/under-allocated

Tips
