Timekeeping Edit View

The edit view is the screen where you record timekeeping for work or travel.

When timekeeping records are started or stopped on the desktop app, the following rules apply:

  • Projects: If the logged-in user and the project’s resource differ, timekeeping records are linked to the resource, not the user.
  • Production: If the logged-in user and the operator differ, timekeeping records are linked to the operator, not the user.
