Open and Close Projects for Time Tracking

To allow staff members to track time spent on project tasks on their timesheets, you must open the project for time tracking and select Clarity as the track mode. The staff member's profile must also be open for time entry to enter time on project tasks.

If you do not want any team member resource to log time against a specific project, clear the Time Entry field.

Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.
