Time Tracking Settings
Flowtly Editorial Team 2 min
Flowtly lets you decide, for each employee, whether time tracking applies to them. Employees who do not track time get a cleaner home page without time-related widgets, while everyone else keeps the project timer and work-time log.
Turning time tracking on or off for an employee
Time tracking is enabled for employees by default. To change it, open an employee's profile and adjust the time tracking setting.
- When time tracking is on, the employee sees the work-time log and the project timer on their home page and can record time against projects.
- When time tracking is off, those two widgets are hidden for that employee, keeping their home page focused on the tasks that apply to their role.
Setting a default project
You can assign a default project to an employee so that their time entries start against the right project without having to pick it each time. The default project can be changed at any time from the employee's profile.
Example use cases
- An office manager who does not bill time has time tracking switched off, removing the timer and work-time log from their home page.
- A consultant who works mostly on one client has that client's project set as their default, so starting the timer requires no extra selection.
- A team lead reviews who tracks time across the team and adjusts the setting as roles change.
