Time tracking is a feature that allows users to track time more precisely than entering values in the Actual start and Actual finish columns. Against each task, a user may enter the precise times worked, and the billing code against which to charge for this time. This may be later used to generate billing reports for customers. To enter tracked hours, double-click in the Time tracking column of the task in question. The time tracking dialog below is shown:
if you wish to track time against a particular billing code, select it in the Billing code box.
to track a range of time, click on the start of the range and drag to the end.
to unset a range of time that is already tracked, click on the start of the range and drag to the end.
to track time in the same week against a different billing code, select the new billing code and track time again.
different billing codes are highlighted in different colours.
not every period tracked need have an associated billing code. If the Billing code box is empty when you are tracking, the time is tracked without billing codes associated.
when you are done, click on the OK button. A further dialog comes up, asking if you wish to adjust the Actual Effort value.
if you click OK in response to the above dialog, a further prompt comes up asking if you wish to adjust the Percent Complete value.
