Logging project hours in the Office User view

How to log the project hours as an Office user

Office users will need to log their project hours on Cloud manually. There are two ways to log the project hours on Cloud.

#1 In the project

Go to "Plan > Time Tracking" in the Project view. Click "Add time entry" in the top-right corner.

1/ Select the resource, Office user, or Field user. This text box will show your name by default.

2/ Select a single date or a range of dates in the "Date(s)" text box.

3/ Either add the number of hours worked in the "Hours Worked" text box or select the "Start Time" and "End Time." For example, type in "02:00" or select "9:00 AM" to "11:00 AM" to log 2 hours.

In both cases, Cloud will consider the total hours based on the dates and the number of hours you have specified per day. For example, adding a date range of 11/7/23 to 11/10/23 and adding 02:00 hours will log a total of 8 project hours.

4/ Select whether the entry should be considered as "Overtime."

Cloud will automatically multiply the cost per hour by the overtime multiplier if "Overtime Exempt" is disabled for this resource.

5/ Select whether the project hours are billable to the customer.

6/ The Cost Per Hour text box will show the cost per hour, and the Total Cost text box will show the total cost.

7/ Select the "Lunch" checkbox to deduct 30 minutes from the time entry.

8/ Select the relevant task and labor type.

9/ You can add any other relevant info in the "Notes" field.

10/ Click "Add."

In this example, we added a time entry for two Office users who worked on installing A/V products for 3 hours.

You will now see one row for each user you specified in the time entry. For the example above, you will see 2 rows of time entries.

#2 On the Time Entries page

If you want to log project hours for multiple projects, you may find it suitable to do so on the Time Entries page.

1/ Go to "Time Entries" in the left navigation menu.

2/ Click "Add time entry" in the top-left corner. This will open a modal for categorizing the time entry—General, Project, or Service.

3/ Select "Project," and add all required data as described above.

4/ Click "Add."

In the example, we add the time entry we added in the project on the Time Entries page.
