Time tracking settings
Time tracking settings define the workspace-wide defaults that apply to every new time entry and timer. These defaults cover billing rates, cost rates, rounding, categories, and timer behaviour, and each one can be overridden at the project or user level when needed.
Default billing and cost rates
The default billing rate sets the per-hour amount charged to clients for tracked time. The default cost rate sets the internal cost per hour. Both rates apply to all time entries unless a more specific rate is set at the project, user, or task level. Changing the default rate affects new entries only, and existing entries keep the rate they were logged with.
Rounding configuration
The rounding increment (5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) and rounding direction (up, down, or nearest) are configured here. Rounding applies when time entries are converted into invoice line items, not to the raw entries themselves. Adjusting these settings changes how future invoices calculate billed time from tracked hours.
Timer behaviour
An auto-stop setting can halt a running timer after a period of inactivity. When enabled, the timer stops automatically if no activity is detected for the configured duration, which prevents timers from running overnight or over weekends by accident. The auto-stop duration is configurable.
Time entry categories
Categories are created and managed from settings. Each category has a name that appears in the category selector when logging time. Categories apply workspace-wide and can be added, renamed, or removed at any time.
Enabling or disabling time tracking
Time tracking can be toggled on or off globally. When disabled, timers, the timesheet, and time-related fields on tasks are hidden across the workspace. Global settings establish the baseline for billing rates, rounding, and timer behaviour, so individual projects and users only need overrides when their requirements differ from the workspace default.
