Adding and editing time entries
Create new time entries manually or modify existing time entries to make sure timesheets have the right details.
🎩 The ability to add and edit time entries is dependant on a user’s role and permissions:
Owners |
Team owners can modify anyone’s time entries. |
Admins |
By default, admins can modify anyone’s time entries. This permission can be disabled. |
Managers |

Members |
Members Can modify their own time entries if permission is enabled under Time Tracking settings. |
Whenever you track time, a time entry is created in your timesheet app. Read on to find out how you can manage and make modifications to new or existing time entries.
