Who is this lesson for?
- Company admin: sets how timers stop, whether hours need approval, and who gets time-log reminders and the daily report.
- Employees: start and stop timers on tasks. They do not open this page.
Before you start
- You need permission to manage Time Log Settings.
- Office hours must be set if you use auto-stop.
Open Time Log Settings
From the menu: Settings → Time Log Settings.
The four switches
| Switch | What it does |
|---|---|
| Stop timer automatically after office time | On: any open timer stops at the end of office hours. |
| Timelog will require approval | On: hours wait for a manager before they count. |
| Send time tracker reminders | On: a time field appears. The team gets a reminder at that time to start or stop the tracker. |
| Send Daily Timelog Report | On: a roles list appears. Those roles get the daily time-log email. |
Leave a switch off if you do not need it. Then Save.
What happens after you save?
- Open timers follow auto-stop if you turned it on.
- New time logs wait for approval if you turned that on.
- Tracker reminders and the daily report go out only when their switches are on, at the time and to the roles you picked.
Common questions
I do not see the time or the roles?
Turn the matching switch on. The extra field appears under it.
Hours are missing from reports?
If approval is on, they appear after a manager approves them.
