Time Logs

The Overview - Time Logs section displays all the time logs across all the projects in a portal. By default, users will view their own time logs. However, this can be changed using filters. The date selector allows users to select various dates to view time logs.
  1. Time Logs can be viewed chronologically by using the Group By Date option & or by users with the Group By User option.
  2. Time Logs can also be viewed as a List, Grid, or on a Calendar.
Idea

Use cases

Construction: When a worker is billed based on the number of hours spent on a task, the project manager needs to know the hours a worker has spent on a task. Time Logs helps with exactly that.

Marketing: When a freelancer is hired to develop a flyer for a product and is paid depending on the number of hours worked on the flyer, time logging is necessary. With Time Logs, the employer can view the logged hours and match the salary for the employee.
 
Software/ IT: Sometimes you may wonder how long it has taken to fix an issue in the product. With the help of the timer in Zoho Projects, you can know the exact time taken to resolve.
