Time tracking – System configuration

The settings of the "Time tracking" admin area: working/attendance times, project times, locking and month-end closing, timesheets and time matrix (Settings tile) plus the admin tiles (categories, office hours, leave rules, public holidays …).

The Time tracking area controls how attendance and project times are recorded, billed and locked. You’ll find a specific field fastest via the Configuration search (filter “Time tracking”); this article is the map.

How to reach this area: Home page → System configuration → category Time tracking.

ℹ The category has 17 tiles. Fully documented here is the central settings tile (96 fields); the rest are admin lists (see below).
