The Time Tracking Column

 

Wondering how much time you spend on each task? You now have the ability to track it with the Time Tracking Column! ⏰

Note: This feature is only available for the Pro and Enterprise plans.

 

How to add the Time Tracking Column

To add it, click on the + icon located on the top right of your board and select "More columns".

How the Time Tracking Column works

Whenever you start a task, simply click on play to start the timer. You can pause it anytime and start it again.

Note: The timer activity of each item can be found in the Activity Log.

 

You can also choose to add in a range of time manually by clicking into a cell within the Time Tracking Column and selecting 'Add session manually':

Note: Keep in mind that you can't enter future values!

 

Choose how your time is displayed

By default, the Time Tracking Column displays the time tracked in seconds. However, you can choose to toggle this off so that the time shown will be in minutes instead if you wish!

To do this, click into the down-facing arrow next to the Time Tracking Column title and press "Column settings". From there, simply uncheck the "Show seconds" box and you'll be good to go.

You can easily view the progress of each task and the time intervals. All of the entries can be manually edited. Just click on the time and you will have the option to enter a different time and date. Edited values will turn red.

Hovering over an entry in the time tracking log will reveal an X to the right of the time, allowing you to delete the entry if you wish. 

 

Tracking time in Subitems

If your items or tasks have smaller steps within them which need to have their time tracked, you may consider adding the Time Tracking Column within the Subitems on your board! In order to do this, simply open up a Subitem and add in the Time Tracking Column just as you would for a normal item on your board.

Get a visual overview of time tracked in the Subitems

In order to easily see a summary of the total time tracked within the subitems, you can choose to aggregate the subitem time tracking column data directly into the parent item. To do this, open up the Time Tracking Column settings from within the Subitems, and select "Show Summary on Parent Item":

How to Export the Time Tracking Column to Excel?

To export the entire Time Tracking column to Excel, click the column menu dropdown and select "Export Column Data to Excel."  This will allow you to export the entire column's data to one spreadsheet for easy reporting.

When exporting the entire column to Excel, you will see all details, including item name, user that recorded the time tracking, and time totals on both an item and board level.

You also have the option to export single items within the Time Tracking Column to Excel rather than the entire column.  To do so, click on the item within the Time Tracking Column and select "Export to Excel" at the top right of the Time Tracking window.
