Better time tracking and reporting

planned

Rena O'Brien

I've added this a couple of times, but as the team continues to use Clickup, there is a lot of items missing in tracking and forecasting.

I've tried all the widgets but ideally this is what I need: for any given month (and possibly other time frames):

a list of projects containing how much time was logged on that project by assignee or resource
a list of resources containing how much time they logged on each project they worked on

What about subtracting calendar meeting time to the workload?

Katie Bani

when are we getting this one guys? trying to make it work with exports /etc, but it's not possible Gian Alexander Francisco Palmos

Katie Bani: There are many requests in this thread. We are actively working on a few and a number of others are planned to arrive in the next few months.

Time tracked can overlap and this is a pain.

Olivier

Any update on this ?

There are so many options and features that should exist regarding time tracking and management. Let me know if you need a walkthrough.

Bugra Oktay

Olivier: We are working on a few things at the moment like bulk adding tasks to timesheets and automatic assignment of approvers and there are others that will come in the next few months (like better exports). I'd love to hear your most critical needs.

First of all, we’re a consulting firm managing multiple clients while also using ClickUp for internal work. Our biggest challenge is the lack of consolidated and visual time-tracking capabilities across people, projects, and functions.
Right now, it’s impossible to answer fundamental questions like:
How much time did each consultant spend on BizDev vs. delivery vs. admin this month?
What is our team’s time distribution across functions?
How does time spent compare across clients, sectors, etc. in a given period?
We can somewhat see billable vs. non-billable, but everything else requires looking into each project separately or exporting all time entries and processing them externally—which is what we currently do using a custom AI.
What would be amazing for us :
A way to consolidate time tracking in a time by user by function graph ( could also be by project, list, space, or other custom tag/fields). 
Either in a dashboard or even in timesheets. Everyone could see their time distribution in a given week/month/custom time interval, and admins could see it for everyone and make a consolidated graph from it. 
Here's a visual of what I process with AI from the clickup time export

Come on ClickUp. This has been requested 4.5 years ago.

If you look around, user requested features usually take 7 years to be completed on the clickup roadmap. It takes forever because new tools are always prioritized over consolidating existing ones 🤷‍♂

Really need timesheets added to the app

Bugra Oktay

AMANDA LYNN: What do you mean? Do you not have access to timesheets?

Lucy Hill

We wish to generate more detailed time tracking reporting:  
Total time tracked for each task by the assignee
Total time tracked by assignee as a % of the time estimate
Remaining time (time estimate less total time tracked by assignee)
Ability to pull into the report all task data; Custom Task ID, Task Name, Asignee, Status, Start date, Due date etc.

Bugra Oktay

Lucy Hill: Thank you for detailing the needs. We have it in our plans for the next few months to address the top 3 bullets here.

For the last one, are you referring to exports or dashboard cards?

Lucy Hill

Hi Bugra Oktay would be great to have a dashboard or the ability to export.

Stacey Brand

It would be nice when exporting the timesheet report for a period of time it would automatically total each day separately. I use the timesheets for payroll and I spend quite a bit of time adding rows in the excel spreadsheet and auto-summing the totals per day for the two weeks for every user. Any better way?

Claire Cockle

It would be really great if the task shown on the time reporting dashboard performed as a link to the actual task so I can click on it and it takes me to the task so I can see the detail. Currently I have to copy and paste the task title into the universal search and wait for it to find it which wastes time.

Bugra Oktay

Claire Cockle: This seems like a low hanging fruit. I'll follow up on this. Thank you for bringing it up.

Kris LaGreca

Also, we desperately need a "group by tag" option in a dashboard report. The timesheet tag taxonomy doesn't seem to be actively exposed, which is critical - the only way we can track multiple clients across lists, spaces.
