# Time tracking
|
|
|
|
Users can book their time or units spent on an activity within a project directly on work packages, which gives a clear indication of how much effort the project activities require. You can either log time in the work package view or via a commit message.
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
|
|
|
|
**Note**: When using the time tracking functionality, the **Time tracking module** needs to be activated in the [project menu](../../projects).
|

## Logging time in the work package view
|
|
|
|
In order to log spent hours for a certain activity, open the details of the corresponding work package. Select **Log time** from the **More functions** drop down menu, the icon with the three dots in the top right of the work packages details. Or use the **Log time** icon next to **Spent time**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will be directed to the detailed view to log time where you can edit the following:
|
|
|
|
2. The date, for which the time will be logged.
|
|
3. The actually logged time (in hours).
|
|
4. The **Activity** drop down menu offers a choice of activity categories, such as coordination or development. The range of categories can vary from project to project and can be edited by a project administrator or a role with respective permissions.
|
|
4. The comment field, where you can note a more detailed description of the activities that you log time for.
|
|
5. Don’t forget to **Save** your logged time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The aggregated time spent on a work package is shown in the work package details view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Logging time via a commit message
|
|
|
|
Note: the “enable time logging” option must be activated under system settings in order to log time via a commit message.
|
|
|
|
To log time to a work package via a commit message you need to use the following syntax: Refs #Work package number @amount of hours. For example refs #123 @2h will log 2 hours for the work package number 123.
|
|
|
|
## Edit logged time
|
|
|
|
To edit logged time, click in the amount of the **Spent time** in the work packages details view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will bring you to the time tracking report where you will see all time entries to this work package.
|
|
|
|
Click on the **Edit** icon next to a time entry in the list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same detailed view to log your time entries will appear where you are now able to apply your changes.
|
|
|
|
## Delete time entries
|
|
|
|
To delete a time entry, also click on the **Spent time** in the details of a work package (just as to edit a work package).
|
|
|
|
In the list of time entries, click on the **Delete** icon next to a time entry to drop the logged time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Track labor costs
|
|
|
|
In order to track labor costs, you need to [define an hourly rate](../cost-tracking/#hourly-rate) in your user profile first. The labor costs will then be calculated automatically based on your hours booked and your hourly rate.
|
|
|
|
## Spent time widget on the My Page
|
|
|
|
You can easily track spent time in the **spent time widget on the MyPage** and get an overview about all your activities during a week. It is like a weekly timesheet for yourself.
|
|
|
|
See more information about the My spent time widget on the [MyPage](../../../getting-started/my-page/#my-spent-time-widget).
