Time Tracking

Time tracking helps you measure how much time is spent on tasks. You can start and stop timers, log time manually, and view a complete history of all time entries for each task.

#Enable Time Tracking

Time tracking is a board-level setting. To enable it:

1. Open Board Settings from the board menu.
2. Go to the Properties tab.
3. Enable the Time Tracking property.

Once enabled, time tracking controls appear in task details for all tasks on the board.

#Show Timer on Task Cards

By default, time tracking is only visible in task details. To also show a timer button on task cards (in Columns and List views):

1. Open Board Settings and go to the Properties tab.
2. Find the Time Tracking property and click to configure it.
3. Enable Show on task card.

#Start a Timer

To start tracking time on a task:

1. Open the task to view task details.
2. Find the Time Tracking property in the properties section.
3. Click Start Timer to begin tracking.

The timer will start counting and display the elapsed time in real-time.

#Stop a Timer

When you're done working on a task:

1. Click the Stop button (yellow square icon) next to the running timer.
2. A popover appears asking "What did you work on?"
3. Enter an optional description of the work completed.
4. Click Save to record the time entry.

The time spent is saved and added to the task's total tracked time.

#Log Time Manually

To add time without using a timer:

1. Open the task to view task details.
2. Click the + Log Time button (or the + button if time has already been tracked).
3. Enter the duration using any of these formats:
   • 2h 30m - hours and minutes
   • 1:30 - hours:minutes
   • 90 - minutes (numbers greater than 10)
   • 2 - hours (single digits)
   • 1.5h - decimal hours
4. Use the quick presets (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h) to quickly set common durations.
5. Add an optional description of the work.
6. Click Log Time to save the entry.

#View Time Log

To see all time entries for a task:

1. Open the task to view task details.
2. Click the + Log Time button (or + button).
3. Click View Log in the top-right corner of the popover.

The time log shows:

• Total time tracked on the task
• Individual entries with duration, description, user avatar, and timestamp

Click Log New to switch back to adding a new time entry.

#Time on Task Cards

When "Show on task card" is enabled in board settings, task cards display time tracking controls:

• Play button with total time - Shows cumulative tracked time. Click to start a new timer.
• Running timer - When a timer is active, shows the elapsed time with a stop button.

This provides quick access to start and stop timers without opening task details.

#Auto-Stop Behavior

Timers automatically stop in these situations:

• Task moved to Done - When a task is moved to a completed status, any running timer is automatically stopped and saved.
• Task archived - Archiving a task with a running timer will stop the timer first.

This ensures no time is lost when completing or archiving tasks.

#Permissions

• Board members can start timers, log time, and edit or delete their own entries.
• Board admins and owners can edit or delete any time entry.
• Guest users can view total time but cannot track time.
• Public visitors cannot see time tracking information.

Only the user who started a timer can stop it.

#Tips

• You can run timers on multiple tasks simultaneously - each task tracks time independently.
• If a timer runs for more than 24 hours, it displays in red as a warning.
• Time entries appear in the task's activity history for full transparency.
• Time data is included in Board Reports for project-level time analysis.
