General
Users can add elements aka widgets to their system’s front page and two of those elements are linked to the Work-hour reporting. These elements are called Workhours and Project hours. Project hours can be used to track worked hours on different projects. Workhours, on the other hand, give the person a summary of tracked work hours.
Start
You can quickly add both of the elements in your dashboard using the following quick start steps:
- Go to your Dashboard.
- Press Edit.
- Press Add new element.
- Give wanted information and press Save.
Project hours
Project hours only need a name and using the arrow icon you can select which projects you want to pin in the element to your favorites by using the pin icon.
When you want to add work hours using this element, you just select the correct day and project by clicking it. Then you get all different options to fill in the information which is available on the specific project. After you have filled in all the information you want to add, just press save and the element updates the hours.
Workhours
The Workhours element requires a little bit more settings than just a name. You need to fill in the period for both target hours and travel expenses to determine which is the period of the summary shown in the element. Both can be adjusted separately and available periods are month, quarter, and year.
If the user has target hours in their preferences, the summary field’s number shows the difference between the targeted and the accumulated hours. The user can determine their personal target hours in My preferences (and an admin can determine the hours of any user in Settings → Users) by filling in the hours in the field Daily hours.
When the settings of this element are right, it will work automatically and the information it provides is automatically updated if the data it uses changes.
