Time Logs Grid View | Online Help | Zoho Projects

Time Logs Grid View

Time Log Grid View displays time logs for tasks and issues as grids. It further supports two types of views: View by Project and View by User in the global Time log module. View by Module and View by User within a project's time log tab. View by Project displays the projects-wise issues and tasks that have been logged in a specific time frame or date. View by User displays the time logs by individual users. View by Module displays time logs by various modules. Click on either a task or an issue to open the details page to view the detailed log entries.

The Grid view page is split into two sections:
On the left-side section, users can Add Time Logs to the selected tasks and issues of a project, or General log. They can view the time logs added by expanding the list under the task, issue or general log name. They can also scroll to the left to view time log details columns. In the expanded list item fields, they can update start and end time. The work hours get calculated based on the start and end time entered and show up on the adjacent grid.

On the right-side section, the time log grids are displayed with a summary of time logs for each day on top. Users can add work hours to the date grids of the adjacent task or issue as per the selected date range. The summary of time logs can be selected to display data based on Hours, Days or Percentage from the Summary Data Label.


Summary Data Label placed on the right strip of the Grid view page's helps users customize how their time log summary is displayed. Users can choose to display the summary as:
  1. Total Hours
  2. Total Days
  3. Total Percentage
  4. Billable Hours
  5. Billable Days
  6. Billable Percentage
  7. Non Billable Hours
  8. Non Billable Days
  9. Non Billable Percentage
The time log summary on the top calculates summary based on the selected type.


Benefits:
  1. Easy tracking with reduced screen juggles.
  2. Risk identification for tasks taking longer to finish and thereby allowing better planning and planned resource allocation.
  3. Improved resource management and project planning
Idea
Use case:
In an Architecture project, an architect logs start and end time against their assigned design tasks and revision issues from the left panel. A senior architect reviews the start and end time logged, identifies an error in end time and rectifies it inline without leaving the view. The billing team scrolls through the left section to verify billable status columns before generating the monthly client invoice. The summary row on top of the right side date grid immediately shows that Tuesday logged significantly fewer hours than the rest of the week, tracing back to a team member who missed their entries after an off-site visit, which they quickly add from the left panel.
The admin configures the Summary Data Label to Hours during the week for internal tracking and switches to Days when submitting the progress report to the client, who evaluates effort in person-days per phase.
The firm cut invoice preparation time in half and eliminated the back-and-forth of correcting timesheets at the end of each billing cycle.
