Track time

Time in Spodus is logged against a task, a ticket or a project. You can run a timer while you work, or add the time afterwards.

Before you start

• Time tracking must be turned on for your workspace. See Turn modules on and off.
• You need something to log time against: a task, or a ticket or project if your workspace has them.

Things to know

• One timer runs at a time.
• A new entry takes its task's Billable setting, and you can change it. Billable time that isn't on an invoice yet is ready to bill. See Bill unbilled work.
• A timer left running for more than 12 hours shows as left running. You set when you stopped, then log it.

Start a timer from the page bar

1. Click Start timer (the play button) in the page bar.
2. Pick the task you're working on. Tasks assigned to you are listed first.

The timer shows in the page bar while it runs. Click it to add a note, change Started at, or turn Billable on or off. Click Stop · log to log the time, or Discard to throw it away.

Start a timer on a task or ticket

• On a task, open it and use the Time section. Click Log time, then Start timer instead.
• On a ticket in the support inbox, the Time row has a play button. Click it to start, and the stop button to stop and log.

Add time by hand

1. Go to More > Time tracking.
2. Click Add time.
3. Type the duration, such as 3h 20m, 1:30 or 1.5. Or fill in Start and End instead.
4. Pick what you worked on: a task, ticket or project.
5. Set the Date. Add Notes and Tags if you like.
6. Check Billable, then click Save.

You can also click Log time on a task or ticket to add time to it directly.

Fix an entry

On More > Time tracking, switch to Entries. Click a note, time or duration to change it. Use the ⋯ menu on an entry to Start again or Delete entry.
