Tip 51: Time log restriction based on work hours


Timesheets are used for tracking time logs of task, issues and approving them. You can control the number of hours a user can log into timesheets. 

Businesses enter into agreements with their customers that stipulate the number of hours a job can take and the rate at which it is billed. Logging additional hours would mean an increase in billable hours. Zoho Projects lets you restrict time log entries based on work hours (planned hours) allotted for tasks. A user cannot log more than the allotted work hours for a task. 

For instance, John creates a task named "Plumbing". He does not want his employees to work on that specific task for more than 8 hours, therefore he sets the work hours as 8 when adding the task. John enables "Time log restriction based on work hours" in Task and Timesheet Settings. When the employee creates a new time log entry, the system will not allow him to enter more than the allotted work hours.
