Time entry categories
Categories break down where time is spent across projects, so hours logged under "Design", "Development", "Meetings", or "Admin" can be filtered and reported on independently. Each time entry can be assigned a category, and the timesheet can be filtered to show only entries in a specific category.
Creating categories
Categories are created in time tracking settings. Each category has a name that appears as a selectable option when creating or editing a time entry. Categories are workspace-wide, so the same set of categories applies across all projects, users, and tasks. New categories can be added at any time, and existing categories can be renamed or removed.
Filtering the timesheet by category
The timesheet filter includes a category selector. When a category is selected, only entries tagged with that category appear in the view. Combined with other filters (user, project, date range), category filtering narrows the timesheet to a specific type of work within a specific context. Filtering by "Development" on a single project, for example, shows exactly how many hours went into development work on that project.
Category-based reporting
Time reports can group entries by category, showing the total hours and cost for each type of work. Category breakdowns reveal how time distributes across different activities, whether across one project or the entire workspace. Categories turn the timesheet from a flat list of hours into a structured view of how time is actually allocated, so patterns like meetings consuming more hours than expected become visible at a glance.
