Time Registration

Log working hours against projects and customers to track billable time and generate invoices from time entries.

Overview

Time registration helps you:

  • Track how many hours you spend on each project
  • Calculate billable vs. non-billable time
  • Generate invoices directly from logged hours
  • Understand your effective hourly rate

Logging time

Create a time entry

  1. Go to Time Registration
  2. Click Add Entry (or the + button on mobile)
  3. Fill in:
    • Date — When the work was done
    • Hours — Duration of work
    • Project — Which project the time is for
    • Customer — The client (auto-filled from project)
    • Description — What you worked on
    • Billable — Whether this time should be invoiced
    • Hourly rate — Your rate for this work
  4. Click Save

Hours-only mode

For simplified time tracking, enable hours-only mode in settings. This hides the hourly rate and billable fields, showing only hours and description.

Invoicing time entries

Convert logged hours into invoices:

  1. Filter time entries by customer or project
  2. Select the entries you want to invoice
  3. Click Create Invoice
  4. A new invoice is pre-filled with line items from the selected time entries
  5. Review and send

Auto-invoice settings

Configure automatic invoicing for time entries:

  1. Go to time registration settings
  2. Set up auto-invoice rules
  3. Time entries matching the rules are automatically added to invoices

Filtering

Filter your time entries by:

  • Customer — See time per client
  • Project — See time per project
  • Date range — Specific period
  • Billable status — Billable vs. non-billable
  • Invoice status — Invoiced vs. uninvoiced

Bulk actions

  • Mark as billable — Set multiple entries as billable
  • Create invoice — Invoice multiple entries at once
  • Archive — Move entries to archive
  • Delete — Remove entries

Tips

  • Log time daily for accurate records
  • Use the project filter to see per-project time totals
  • Check uninvoiced time regularly to avoid missing billable hours
  • The project-based dashboard profile highlights time tracking metrics
