The Time section is your personal command center for logging and reviewing tracked hours. Whether you prefer starting a live timer, adding time manually after the fact, or reviewing everything you logged this week in a single grid, the Time section brings it all together in one place and keeps each time entry tied to the correct project and task.
This video covers the three main views inside the Time section: the day-by-day list view, the weekly Timesheet view, and the Time Cards feature that managers use to review and lock team submissions once a period is closed.
What's covered in this video
The List view presents your time entries in a chronological, day-by-day format. Each entry shows the project, task, optional note, duration, and billable status. You can start a new timer directly from this view by clicking the play button next to any task — Everhour will begin counting and display the running timer in the header so you always know it's active. To stop a timer, click the stop button; the entry is recorded automatically with the elapsed time. If you forget to start a timer, manual entry is just as straightforward: click the add button, pick a project and task, type a duration or choose start and end times, and save. Time entries can include a free-text note, which is especially useful when multiple team members work on the same task and billing clarity is important.
The Timesheet view shifts the layout to a weekly grid where projects and tasks appear as rows and days of the week appear as columns. This is ideal for filling in hours retroactively — for example, at the end of each workday or at the end of the week. You can see totals per day and per task at a glance, making it easy to spot gaps before submitting. Teams that have the time approval workflow enabled can submit their timesheets directly from this view, triggering a notification to the responsible manager for review.
Time Cards are the manager-facing counterpart to the Timesheet. They show a summary of each team member's submitted hours for a given period, allow managers to leave comments on individual entries, and let admins lock periods so that no further edits can be made once payroll or billing has been processed. Locking a time card gives the team a clear cut-off point and ensures historical records remain accurate. Managers can also unlock a previously locked period if a correction is needed.
Key features shown
The Time section brings together three complementary views to fit different working styles. The List view offers a detailed, entry-by-entry log with full editing capabilities for any day. The Timesheet view provides a compact weekly grid that makes bulk entry fast and reveals gaps at a glance. The Timecards view gives managers oversight of the whole team's submitted hours, with the ability to comment, approve, and lock periods for payroll accuracy. Every time entry — regardless of which view it was created in — is linked to a project and task, is tagged with a billable status, and contributes to budget burn calculations in real time.
