My company spends a lot on different software tools, so we’re always looking for ways to simplify our tech stack and keep everything in one (or a few) place(s). That’s one of the reasons we love ClickUp, because it can do so much.

One area of our business we’d love to move into ClickUp is time tracking. The current feature seems helpful, but there are a few limitations that make it hard for us to replace our existing time tracking tool.

I know admins can set team capacity, which is great. What we’d really love is the ability to control which spaces, folders, lists, or even status' our team can track time against.

Right now, when someone starts a timer from the pinned timer or the time tracking section, they see every task they have access to. This means they have to search or filter through lists of tasks to find the right one. Even tasks in Spaces where time tracking is turned off still appear. It would be amazing if admins could choose specific status, folders, or lists that are available for time tracking. For example, we’d love to create one space with the recurring tasks our team tracks every week and have only those tasks show up when logging time. That would make the process for our team, who isn't very tech savvy, so much easier.

Our payroll is based on specific date ranges, and we need to be able to review time logged during those exact periods. For example, if payroll runs from the 1st to the 15th of the month, we’d like to see all time logged by each team member during that timeframe. We use this information to process payroll, understand team workload, identify who may need support, and calculate our hourly costs by client.

We’d love to use ClickUp for time tracking, and these updates would make it a little easier for us to fully move more onto the platform.
