A Basecamp time summary is for showing what happened across Basecamp projects during a chosen period. The useful view answers a specific question: which project used the most time, which to-dos absorbed the week, which member logged the work, which client needs an update, or which dates explain a spike.
The summary should stay compact. Use project, to-do, list, member, client, date range, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and status fields only when they help the reader decide the next action. A weekly status update needs fewer columns than an admin cost review, and a client-facing backup report needs cleaner grouping than an internal workload check.
Project grouping shows where total effort went. To-do grouping shows the actual work behind that effort. Member grouping shows workload and handoff patterns. Client grouping supports account review. Date-range grouping separates current activity from older work that belongs in a previous invoice, retainer period, or monthly report.
Keep billable and non-billable time visible in the same review when the audience needs both delivery and margin context. A project lead needs the full work picture, while a client usually needs only approved billable backup. Money-related billable and cost information is visible only to Everhour admins, so cost columns belong only in admin-access reporting.
Basecamp projects organize work through tools such as to-dos, lists, schedules, messages, files, and reports. For time summaries built from the Everhour integration, the reporting structure centers on Basecamp projects, to-dos, lists, task ID, and task status. That structure keeps the time record connected to the work item people recognize.
A common mistake is summarizing time only by person. That view explains who worked, but it does not show which Basecamp to-do consumed the time or whether the work belongs to delivery, revision, support, or internal coordination. Use person-level totals for capacity review, then add project and to-do detail before billing or sending a status report.
A one-off summary works when you need a quick export for a meeting, a client question, or a monthly close file. It is enough when the date range is narrow, the audience is known, and someone can verify billable status before sending the report.
A managed workflow fits when Basecamp work needs recurring review. Everhour supports approvals, locked periods, admin time correction, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults, so standing reports can use reviewed time instead of a manually rebuilt spreadsheet. Exports then serve people who need the file, while the working record stays consistent.

Use the smallest set that answers the review question. Project, to-do, list, member, date range, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and task status cover most internal summaries. Add client when the report supports account review. Remove cost from external summaries because money-related billable and cost information is visible only to Everhour admins.
Group by project when the goal is delivery status, budget review, or client communication. Group by person when the goal is workload review or manager follow-up. A practical weekly report often starts with project totals, then expands into member and to-do detail only for projects that need explanation.
Show billable and non-billable time as separate columns when the report supports billing, margin review, or client delivery analysis. Combining them hides work that should not be invoiced and makes the total harder to explain. Keep the combined total only as a supporting column when the audience needs overall effort.
Do not treat every Basecamp surface as a timed work item. Everhour's documented Basecamp report fields center on projects, to-dos, lists, task ID, and task status. Use those synced work objects for time reporting, then mention schedules, messages, or files only as context when they explain the work.
Weekly review works for active delivery teams because managers can catch missing entries, unusual totals, and non-billable miscoding before the month closes. Monthly review fits admin, retainer, and client reporting. Lock or approve the period before exporting a final version for billing or stakeholder records.
Everhour Team Management adds approval workflow, locked periods, admin time correction, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults. Those controls help managers review Basecamp time before reports use it, so summary totals reflect approved entries instead of unchecked or late-edited records.
Everhour reports can be exported as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF files. That gives clients or leadership a shareable summary while the live report remains tied to Basecamp projects, to-dos, lists, members, billable status, and date ranges inside Everhour.
Track approved Basecamp hours with Everhour, apply team rules before review, and export summaries for clients, admins, or project leads with consistent reporting context.
