Track time & expenses

Required fields

1 min read

You can prevent users from adding incomplete time entries by using required fields. This will ensure that all time entries have a mandatory minimum amount of information assigned to them, so your reports are organized and accurate at all times.

Note

Required fields is a paid feature, which you can enable by upgrading your workspace to any of the paid plans.

How to enable required fields #

  1. Click on the three dot icon next to your workspace name
  2. Select Workspace settings
  3. Select Time tracking from the sidebar
  4. Check the box for the field you want to require under Time entry required fields

When the task is a required field, projects that don’t have tasks don’t show up in the project picker.

Note

Project is a required field when Kiosk is enabled.

How it works #

For example, if you check project and tags as required:

  • No one can add a time entry without a project and tag (not even admins)
  • The timer can be started but can’t be stopped until you add a project and tag
  • You cannot add time in Timesheet view without selecting a tag
