Time reports show the hours and billable information for each client, project, task, and teammate.

If you’re an Administrator, you’ll see all clients, projects, tasks, and teammates for the account. Managers will see time for projects they manage and their assigned people, and Members will see information only for projects they’re assigned to.

How to use the time report

This video goes over the basics of using the time report.

What you’ll see

Reports > Time has a summary panel that shows your company’s Hours tracked, Billable hours, Billable amount, and Uninvoiced amount for the timeframe displayed.

Below the summary is a table with time information organized into four tabs: Clients, Projects, Tasks, and Team.

A few notes about the numbers you’ll see on this page:

  • If Time rounding is turned on, all hours will be rounded according to your settings.
  • All tabs will only display the clients, projects, tasks, or teammates with time tracked during the timeframe you’re viewing.
  • The Uninvoiced amount excludes Fixed Fee projects.
  • The Billable amount includes only Time & Materials projects by default; this applies to the Billable amount in the summary panel and individual items on all tabs. You can also add Fixed Fee projects by selecting Include fixed fee projects on the report. If a client, project, task, or teammate has time related only to Fixed Fee projects and Include fixed fee projects is not selected, there will be no Billable amount displayed.
  • See our article on how project type affects reports for more details
  • Managers will only see billable amounts if they have special permission to view billable rates

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll see in each tab:

  • Clients
    • 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.
  • Projects
    • 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.
  • Tasks
    • 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.
  • Team
    • The Team tab organizes people by Employees and Contractors and shows the people who have tracked time during the time period you’re viewing.
    • Clicking a person’s name will take you to an individual teammate report.

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.

  • You can include Fixed Fee projects in the billable mount by selecting Include fixed fee projects. The billable amount will be calculated based on the project’s billable rates.

  • Check Active projects only to remove any archived projects from the report.

  • Export any report you’re viewing from the Export menu.

    • If you’re using iWork Numbers, choose to export to CSV. Files exported to Excel aren’t compatible with Numbers.
  • View a detailed time report for the page you’re viewing by clicking Detailed report. Clicking the icon next to any hour total will take you to a detailed time report for those specific hours.

  • Print the report by clicking the printer icon.
