The purpose of Work and Time Management solution is to track the exact time employees spend on different tasks during a certain period of time.

This solution helps managers to record start and end times for tasks and identify areas that delay completion of work.

In SimpleOne, there are two ways to create timecards:

• via the form of any object from the Task (task) table
• via the Timesheet page.

Time spent

You can write off labor costs via Task or any child table record form.
To do it, please complete the steps below:

1. Open the record of the task you work on.
2. Click Specify Time Spent in the top right corner.
3. The modal window appears where you can specify time spent on the task and add comment to make some notes.
   • You can only specify the time spent on a task during the current day.
4. Click Save.

After saving, the toast message Time spent is saved appear.

The specified time and comment are transferred to the form of the timecard in the corresponding filed of the day. If today is Monday then the Monday field is filled in, respectively.

If you open the modal window the same day, the fields will contain previously specified values. When you change values, new values will be transferred to the Timesheet page in the relevant cell.
