Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Manual time entry fits work that already happened: a meeting, a support pass, a review session, or a Basecamp to-do completed away from the timer. The entry should identify the work clearly enough for a manager to understand the date, duration, person, and reason for the time. A note such as "client edits from message thread" gives context without turning the timesheet into a diary.
Everhour's Basecamp integration works through the browser extension and places tracking controls in Basecamp browser workflows. Synced Basecamp data can appear in Everhour reports with project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status columns. That reporting context matters because the same 45 minutes can mean different things on a proposal task, an internal QA task, or a client-billable implementation task.
A complete manual entry answers four review questions: which work produced the time, who did it, which date it belongs to, and how long it took. The note field should explain exceptions, late entry, meeting context, or bundled work. Avoid notes that repeat the task title only. They add text without making payroll, billing, or project review easier.
Billable status starts from the project setup in Everhour. Basecamp projects can be configured as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, specific tasks can be marked non-billable, and specific tasks in time-and-materials projects can be assigned custom rates. Manual time should land on the correct Basecamp work item because the billing treatment follows that project and task setup. Moving time later creates invoice and profitability review problems.
A timer fits focused work on a Basecamp to-do because it captures duration as the work happens. Manual entry fits work recorded after the fact, especially calls, research, or tasks done from mobile notes before the person returns to the browser. Both methods need enough context to explain why the time exists during review.
Teams should define a simple rule before entries pile up. Use timers for implementation and production work where start and stop points are clear. Use manual entries for meetings, reviews, and late corrections. Everhour records timer, manual, and past-date entries separately, so managers can see the entry method during review instead of treating every hour as equally precise.
A one-off entry is enough when you need to capture a single missed block of time on Basecamp work and export the result for a quick review. A managed workflow becomes necessary when several people log time, clients receive invoices, budgets need threshold alerts, or submitted periods should stay protected from casual edits.
Everhour connects Basecamp to approvals, locked periods, budget alerts, billable reporting, and invoice-oriented review. Basecamp stays the work context, while Everhour holds the time, billing setup, rates, and reports. That separation gives managers a durable record for payroll review, client billing, project cost control, and reporting exports.

A useful manual entry includes the person, date, duration, and a note when the reason is not obvious. The note should explain the work performed, the source of the request, or the correction being made. A blank note works for routine task work, but exceptions need context.
Specific to-do context gives cleaner review because the time stays close to the work that caused it. Broad project totals can support rough summaries, but they hide which deliverable consumed the time. Everhour's Basecamp reports can include project, list, to-do, task ID, and task status fields for deeper review.
Split a manual entry when one work block covers different deliverables, billing treatment, or review owners. A 90-minute call that includes client implementation and internal planning should become separate entries if those parts need different reporting. Keep one entry only when the whole block belongs to the same work context and review decision.
Set the billing structure before people log large blocks of time. Everhour handles billing status at the project level with hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable options. Specific tasks can be marked non-billable, and specific tasks in time-and-materials projects can be given custom rates. Entries should follow the correct work context so billing rules apply without later cleanup.
Bundling unrelated work into one entry creates the worst review problem. A three-hour entry that mixes a client call, QA, and internal planning cannot support clean billing or project analysis. Split time when the work belongs to different deliverables, billing treatment, or review decisions.
Everhour Reporting turns Basecamp time into configurable reports with columns for project, to-do, list, task ID, task status, comments, billable time, cost, and invoice status. Managers can group, filter, export, or schedule reports so manual entries become reviewable records instead of isolated notes.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is locked from regular member edits, which helps protect Basecamp time records before payroll, billing, or reporting use them.
Track Basecamp work in Everhour, review it through customizable reports, and keep approved time ready for billing, payroll review, and project cost control.
