If you are accessing this platform for the first time, you have to log in before using it. You should receive an invitation in the mail. After accepting it, you will be taken to the authorization page, where you must specify your full name and position, as well as create a password to enter.
Next, you need to select the "project" tab and find the one you are currently working with.
We click on “tasks”, a menu drops out in which you need to select a task from the ready list (if it is common, or you were assigned to it), or click “create new task”. A window appears in which you can enter your task
The names of your client, project and task appear on the right near the top line. Now you need to add a description of the task in the line. We describe the task in as much detail as possible. Next, press the start button - and the time of your work has gone. Once you are done, press stop and the tracker will stop.
IMPORTANT! We track time only directly at the moment of the task execution. Neither before, nor after, nor during the performance of any other work - only during a specific period of a specific task.
If the next day you continue to work on the same task, click on the continue button and time will start again. Please note that the description will remain the same. Or you can re-open the "project", re-select the "client", "project" and "task" or create a new one, also do not forget about the detailed description of the task.
Please note that every Friday you need to check whether all the hours for the week are entered correctly and whether they are all under the right project, otherwise they will not be paid later.
To check if everything is filled in correctly and find out how many hours worked for a certain period of time, you need to use the REPORTS tab in the menu on the left. Click to open the report section. In the Team section, find yourself, mark and select the time period (click on the calendar in the upper right corner) - for example, the last month. Click APPLY. Above the infographic that appears, you see the number of total hours worked, and below, a list of the projects you've worked on. If everything is filled in correctly, then when you click on the project, a full description of the tasks you specified and the time spent on each of them will appear.
The main indicator for you is the total number of hours worked. This information is required to send your monthly invoice - for payroll purposes.
So let's recap.
