Track Time for Another User

How to record time under another user's timesheet

Need to log time for a team member who's away, or help someone catch up on their timesheet? Admins — and Users with the right Permissions — can record Time Entries on behalf of anyone in their Account.

Who can track time for others

Admins can do this by default. A non-Admin User can too, as long as they have both of these Permissions:

  • See & report on others' time — so they can see the other User's timesheet

  • Edit & manage others' time — so they can add and change entries on it

Both are needed. Without See & report on others' time there's no one to switch to, and without Edit & manage others' time they can look but not record.

If you don't see the user switching option described below, ask an Admin to check those two Permissions on your User. See Manage User Permissions for how to set them.

How to switch to another User's timesheet

  1. Go to the Time screen where you normally view your own timesheet

  2. Click "My Time" just below the Dock - this opens a dropdown menu

  3. Select the User you want to record time for from the dropdown

Here's the user dropdown that appears when you click "My Time". Select any User from your team:

After choosing a User, the My Time heading changes to their name. Click the Dock button next to that heading to point your live timer at their timesheet.

How to add Time Entries for another User

  1. Hover over any date heading to reveal the New button

  2. Click New to create a blank Time Entry for that date

  3. Fill in the details: Add a Contact, any Project/Tasks, enter a duration, and fill in any notes/description for the Time Entry

  4. Click the save button on the right to save the Time Entry to their timesheet

Switching back to your own timesheet

When you're finished recording time for another User, click the dropdown again and select your own name to return to your timesheet, or simply refresh your MinuteDock webpage.
