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

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.

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.

Kris LaGreca

Here's our use case: Tracking time across a number of clients. In order to report on this, we need a taxonomy that is a) global and b) fixed across entries, so that we can then report on it.

The easiest solution is to extend custom fields to support the time entry entity, and then expose that as a variable, filter on the dashboard side.

We request a setting to require notes on any tracked time.

Require Notes: Toggle On/Off

Please let us leave notes on our time tracking when we track using the browser extension!!!!

Please let us create cards based on:
Work done on certain time label in last x days
Time tracked on Tag in last x days
Time tracked per time label in last x days
Time tracked on Sprint points > Y in last x days (individual, team and separate team members)

Functionality to use Clickup as clock on and off for a day/ shift in addition to task based time tracking would be amazing. If this is combined with an export feature to csv or api link to payroll would it can eliminate the need for additional apps

Hello everyone - we are starting to make improvement in our time reporting flows as requested here. Once I have dates, I'll share them here.

Yuriy Mykhasyak

Bugra Oktay, great, but in our case, it's too late. We waited two years and moved to a different product.

Martin Currie

Bugra Oktay - great news, looking forward to it.

Anthony Lemay

Bugra Oktay Thanks, we need idle time detection. Then on any activity, prompt for:
Discard idle time and stop.
Discard idle time and continue.
Add idle time as new entry.
Keep idle time and stop.
Just like toggl.
And better reports per list, per task (and/or sub tasks), per card, etc. With customizable views / options. Again just like toggl. So it's easy to bill clients according to time spent on each list/card (project).
this would be killer! Thanks

Niklas Buschner

Bugra Oktay looking forward to this!

Chaim Baum

Bugra Oktay - Great! please add real time sync with QuickBooks, desktop and online. Thanks

Hi Bugra Oktay ,
Additional feedback – important for larger teams and accurate forecasting.
When improving time tracking and reporting, I’d like to add the following suggestions:
➤ Time tracking per team (filter by team):
For larger organizations, it's crucial to be able to report time not just by individual users but also by teams. Having team-level reporting allows for better visibility into allocation, performance, and planning. This functionality is currently missing.
➤ Estimates visible in dashboards, not just in workload view:
At the moment, task estimates are only visually spread across time in the workload view. In dashboards or charts, however, all estimates are assigned to the task’s start month, leading to inaccurate representations of future capacity. Please make it possible to distribute estimates in dashboards/hours over a 12-month period and visualize them per month.
Example issue: A task estimated at 120 hours over 12 months appears fully in January on the dashboard, instead of being evenly distributed across the year.
This would greatly improve resource forecasting, especially for long-term planning and team-based capacity tracking.

Stephanie Kohut

Bugra Oktay Thanks for sharing and fwiw being able to assign job roles to users would be really helpful for timekeeping as well as workload management and resourcing.

It would be very useful to have the possibility to see and create/modify task report and time tracked through a calendar view (we now use Clockify for this and it’s very useful), because you can add via drag&drog a new time estimation for a task (I.e. when you forget to track time) and also to see if you tracked all day/hours or something is missing.

Also would be great if you could add the same time for different people (like a meeting) once for everyone who joined the meeting
