Overview

Admins can manage time tracking categories. On Enterprise accounts, it’s possible to restrict admins from managing time tracking categories with controlled admin permissions.

Use time tracking categories to categorize the time that you add to tasks through the time tracker and Timesheets.

Examples of categories you may want to create: “Working on deliverables,” “Review,” and “Meeting.” Time tracking categories are customizable, so you can create the ones that make sense for your team.

    Note

    If you don’t see the Add category link, check the box next to Enable timelog categories.

  5. Enter a name for your category and press enter on your keyboard.

  6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each category you want to add.

  7. Once you've added all necessary categories click Save changes.
