Overview

Create time tracking categories to let people categorize how they’re spending time. Categories are customizable and you can create the categories that make sense for your team.

Examples of categories you may want to create:

  • Working on deliverables
  • Review
  • Meeting

We’d love to hear what types of categories you create.

Admins on Business and Enterprise accounts can add time tracking categories.

  1. Click your profile picture in the Workspace's upper right-hand corner.
  2. Select "Settings" from the dropdown.
  3. Click "Timelog" in the left panel.
  4. Click “Add category”*.
  5. Enter a name for your category and press enter on your keyboard.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each category you want to add.
  7. Once you have added all necessary categories click "Save changes".

Once you’ve added a category, users in the account can use it when adding new time tracking entries.

*If you don’t see the “Add category” link, check the box next to “Enable timelog categories”.
