Using WorkflowManager - Record Time Spent Screen

Time input for tasks and projects
WorkflowManager collects the time input in the Record Time Spent screen. It is necessary to track the time spent on tasks and projects in order to properly monitor workflow and resources.
Using the Record Time Spent screen you can:

  • Record time spent on a task, project, or a miscellaneous item related to a project.
  • Enter a progress note or comment related to the task, project, or other item.


Access the Record Time Spent screen in one of the following ways:
  • While in the Time Slip screen of the Inbox screen, click on the "New" button or select "New Entry".
  • While in the Time Sheet screen, click on the "New" button.
  • While in the Progress Notes tab of the Start Project screen, click on the "New" button or select "New Entry".
  • While in the Progress Notes tab of the Task Advanced screen, click on the "New" button.
  • While in the Update Task Status screen, enter the time spent on the task.


Using Actual or Start/End time input:
Two user preferences are provided for time spent data entry. Choose from one of the following:
  • Actual time spent
  • Start / end format


For example, you may wish to enter 50 minutes total time was spent on a specific task, or you may wish to enter that you started work on the task at 10:00 and ended work on the same task at 10:50.

Both methods of input will track a total of 50 minutes for that task. Both methods are correct, we suggest you choose the time tracking method that works best for you.
