The Split entry feature lets you break a long time log (two minutes or more) into shorter durations. This is useful if you leave a timer running by mistake or forget to switch it when jumping between projects. Instead of a single block of time, you can divide it to keep your tasks organized and your billable hours accurate.

Use Time tracker <\/strong>or Calendar<\/strong> to split entries based on either their duration, or specific times of the day and add more flexibility and precision when managing your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Can I split an entry multiple times?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Yes, you can split an entry multiple times by repeating the split process on your newly created time segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What happens to my project and tags when I split an entry?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Your newly split segments will retain all the original information, including tags, projects, and descriptions. You can then edit each new segment individually to keep your records accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Is there a minimum duration required to split a time entry?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Yes, entries can only be split if they are longer than two minutes<\/strong>, giving you at least one minute for the first segment and one minute for the second segment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Split entry feature lets you break a long time log (two minutes or more) int…","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_helpful_status":1,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-manage-tracked-time"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"tamara radijevac","author_link":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/author\/tamara-radijevac"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17725"}],"version-history":[{"count":64,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36432,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17725\/revisions\/36432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
