Members: Reports
Reports in Harvest help you review how you’re spending your time. You can report on which clients you've done work for, the projects and tasks you've been working on, and what expenses you’ve tracked to your projects. In this article you’ll find information on the time report, the detailed time and detailed expense reports, and your Weekly Harvest (a personal weekly time report emailed directly to you).
Time report
The time report shows the hours you’ve worked for each client, project, and task for the selected timeframe. To view your time report, head to Reports > Time.
A few notes about what you’ll see on this page:
- If an Administrator in your account has turned on Time rounding, all hours will be rounded according to those settings.
- All tabs will only display the clients, projects, or tasks with time tracked during the timeframe you’re viewing. You can change the timeframe by using the dropdown at the top right.
- Time will always be displayed in decimal format in the time report, even if it’s displayed as HH:MM on your timesheet. For example, 2 hours and 30 minutes (2 1/2 hours) will display as
2.50
.
Here’s a breakdown of what you'll see in each tab:
- The Clients tab shows time information by client.
- If you click a client name, it will take you to an individual client report, showing time information for all of the projects belonging to that client. Clicking a project name will take you to an individual project report.
- The Projects tab lets you compare all projects to each other.
- If you click a project name, it will take you to an individual project report.
- Under the Tasks tab, you’ll see a color-coded bar graph showing the distribution of hours per task.
- If you click a task name, it will take you to an individual task report.
- Under the Team tab, you’ll see the total hours that you’ve tracked for that time period.
- Note that Members aren’t able to view reports of other teammates’ time.
Actions
- You can change the report’s timeframe using the dropdown at the top right. You can also navigate back and forth through time with the arrows at the top left.
- Check Active projects only to remove any archived projects from the report.
- View a detailed time report by clicking the Detailed report button at the top right of the report. The detailed time report will show all the individual time entries that you’ve tracked. Time is displayed in decimal format, even if your timesheet uses HH:MM. You'll find more information about how to use the detailed time report in the following section of this article.
- Print the report by clicking the printer icon.

Filter the projects/tasks you want to see in the report with the input boxes.
- You can choose more than one filter.

Detailed expense report
The detailed expense report shows expenses that you’ve tracked for the given timeframe and other filters that you select. Members are only able to run expense reports for their own expenses.

Check the Include archived items in filters box if you do want to include those when you’re selecting filters.

Troubleshooting issues with report exports
If you're not receiving exported reports, please take a look at I'm not receiving emails from Harvest. What should I do? for some steps you can take to resolve this issue.
Your Weekly Harvest report (personal time report)
Besides the time reports offered directly in Harvest, you can also choose to receive a personal time report, your Weekly Harvest report, by email. The report is sent on the first day of each week and contains graphs and summary data showing you how you spent your time over the previous week.
Note that the first day of the week can be any day of the week, and is a setting selected by the Administrators in your account. The data in the report may also be rounded based on your company settings.
Additionally, the emailed report reflects hours tracked as of the moment it’s generated, which is shown in the footer. We’re not able to resend the report with hours that were added or edited after that time.
To subscribe to or unsubscribe from your Weekly Harvest report:
