Time Logging
What is time logging?
Time logging refers to the process of recording the time spent on various tasks or activities within a project. In ProScheduler, this feature allows users to track and record the time spent on specific tasks, helping project managers optimize workflow and ensure efficient use of resources.
Logging time in ProScheduler
Only the individual member can log their own time entries.
Note: Other members cannot create or update the time logs of other team members.
Timelog Board
The Timelog Board provides a calendar-like interface that enables users to visually track and manage the time spent on tasks. It allows users to log their time on scheduled tasks and plan time off directly from the board.
Timelog details:
Time view range: Allows switching between different weeks to view or log time entries for specific dates.
Logged time: Refers to the total amount of time that has been tracked and recorded for each task.
Time log entries: Allow users to log hours for scheduled tasks directly from the schedule board.
Color-coded indicators:
The Timelog Board uses color-coded indicators to visually show how logged time on tasks compares with a resource's available working capacity:
Green: Logged time matches the full capacity.
Orange: Logged time is under capacity.
Red: Logged time exceeds the available working capacity.
