Set up time tracking targets & reminders #

You can set time tracking targets for your team (daily, weekly, or monthly) and automatically remind them to log their hours via email if they miss their targets or log too many hours.

Based on their configuration, reminders can be divided in three different ways:

  • Daily reminder: Sent the next day if targets aren’t met
  • Weekly reminder: Sent on the first day of the next week
  • Monthly reminder: Sent on the first day of the next month

To set up Timesheet reminders:

  1. Gehe zu Team > Reminders -Registerkarte
  2. Set a target number of hours for your team members (daily, weekly, or monthly)
  3. Choose when reminders should be sent based on whether the team member logs more oder less than the target hours
  4. Klicke auf Hinzufügen to save the reminder

Important notes:

  • Team members will not receive reminders if they are on arbeitsfreier Zeit or a holiday
  • You can set multiple reminders for each user (e.g. 7 hours per day, 40 hours per week, 150 hours per month)
