Create and edit time tracking entries

This chapter explains how to track working time in InLoox. The system automatically assigns the effort to the project plan and stores a separate cost record.

You can create a time tracking entry either directly in the project, or in the project overview:

Create and edit time tracking entries within a project

1. Open an already existing project.

2. In the project open the Start tab and click on Time to open the time tracking view of your project.

3. The time tracking view shows all time tracking entries of a specific project. To create a new time tracking entry, click on New.

4. A side panel will open on the right side. Here you can add all important information regarding the new time tracking entry:

• Basic Information: Here you can choose between the modes Started at, Ended at or Start and End. Fill out the parameters accordingly. In addition, add the name and a brief description of the activity you were working on.

• Assignment: Assign the time tracking entry to a specific task or an activity. If you assign it to an activity, the drop-down-list will represent the structure of the planning. Assign a cost group to the entry by editing the field Group. 

• Details: Mark the new time tracking entry with a green, yellow or red flag and choose the resource that performed the activity or task.

• Documents: Add additional documents, if needed.

5. When you have added all important facts, close the side panel by clicking on the icon next to Basic Information in the right corner. Your changes have been saved already.

6. To edit an already existing time tracking entry, double-click on the entry in the time tracking view of your project. Alternatively, select the entry in the time tracking list and click on Edit on the Edit tab. Alternatively, click on the entry once and then on Edit Time on the right side. The side panel will open up again on the right side and you can edit the information of the entry you have selected. Then close the side panel and your changes will be saved.

5. When you have added all information, click on the Save Button in the upper right corner.
