- Users on the Business Plan and above can export Time Tracking card data. You can search for Custom Fields to add them to your Dashboard card.
Time Tracking card types
There are several customizable Time Tracking cards designed to meet your reporting needs.
Time Reporting card
See all your time entries, filter by multiple properties, and display in customizable groups. Tasks must have time tracked to be included in the Time Reporting card. Date-defined filters will only show tasks that have time tracked within that period.
-
Group by task, List, Folder, or Space and users up to two levels through the grouping menu in the card settings.
-
Toggle on Time Estimates to display the estimated time in a column.
-
Select billable or non-billable time entries from the dropdown.
- Enable the Include subtasks option to include subtask and nested subtask data.
The Time Reporting card exports can take up to 10 minutes to complete.
Timesheet card
See time tracked for a given week, month, or any custom range.
When you enable the Me mode filter, tasks only display if you are assigned to them and have time tracked on them.
-
Drill down to the task and the individual time entry.
-
Show time grouped by day and compare against a 12 hour day.
-
Get a grand total of time per selected time range.
To change the time from a 12 hour day, you can set the default number of hours in a workday in the Time Estimates ClickApp.
Billable Report
Similar to the time reporting card, billable time is a quick way to display a report with only billable time.
Time Estimated (legacy)
Quickly view time as a team resource for planning projects.
-
The time remaining indicator calculates (time estimated) - (time logged) to determine whether or not your goals are on schedule
-
This report does not provide a time period filter. Time estimated is not inherently related to exact dates. Therefore, adding a time period filter for this feature would render its comparison with the time tracked feature useless.
-
This card also gives you the ability to export much more data.
Time Tracked (legacy)
See the total of how much time each person in your Workspace has tracked.
-
With cumulative time tracking logs for each Workspace user, there’s accurate information on how time-consuming a List of tasks has been
-
This includes time tracked manually and automatically, such as with the ClickUp Chrome extension, Toggl and Harvest
-
Enable the Include subtasks option to include subtask and nested subtask data
-
Export the data for even more information
-
In your export, the User Period Time Spent column displays the time tracked by the user on the task you're looking at during the range you selected in the card settings. The Task Time Spent column displays the time that the user spent in total on the task you're looking at.
-
Create a Time Tracking card
You can create Time Tracking cards for new or existing Dashboards:
- Open a Dashboard:
- ClickUp 2.0: Select a Dashboard from the Sidebar.
