Understanding Time Tracking

Definition

Time Tracking in Easy8 is a feature to record how much time users spend working on tasks and projects.

Key components:

Spent Time: Time that users log while working.
Time Entries: Records of time spent.
Time Estimates: Expected time needed for a task.
Settings and Limits: Rules to control time logging.

How It Works

Time Tracking has two main parts:

Logging Time
- Write total time worked.
- Log time using "from-to" interval.
- Use the "Start Working" timer.
Managing Time Tracking
- Set global settings for logging time.
- Limit how much time can be logged.
- Create reports based on logged time.

This process helps teams:

Track progress.
Analyze productivity.
Control costs.

Corner Situations:

If users try to log more time than the estimate, the system may block it.
Time logs might overlap if "from-to" intervals are used incorrectly.
Users may forget to stop the timer, leading to incorrect records.

Examples

For example:

A developer uses the "Start Working" timer to track how long they work on a task.
A manager checks time entries to see if the team finished the project on time.

Conclusion

Time Tracking in Easy8 is a simple but powerful tool. It helps you measure how much time is spent on work. It supports better planning, cost control, and performance analysis.
