Time Tracking
Time tracking helps you record how long your team spends on work. You can start and stop a timer for real-time tracking, or log time manually after the fact. Every time entry links to a document — a task, project, deal, lead, or ticket.
Logged time appears in a Time Spent summary on the document’s detail page and in the Time Tracking report under Insights.
Logging Time
Start a Timer
You can start a timer from any document that supports time tracking.
- Open a task, project, deal, lead, or ticket
- In the header area, click the Track button
- Mosic starts a timer and shows it in the running timer bar at the bottom of the screen
The timer runs until you stop it. You cannot start more than one running timer on the same document.
The Track button switches to a Stop button while the timer is running.
Stop a Timer
When you finish working, stop the timer.
- Click the red Stop (square) button on the timer pill in the bottom bar
- Or click Stop on the timer entry in the Time Logs section on the document’s detail page
Mosic records the duration and adds the entry to the document’s time log.
Log Time Manually
If you forgot to start a timer, you can add a time entry manually.
Before you begin: You need write access on the target document. Members have write access on tasks, deals, leads, tickets, and task lists.
- On a task, project, deal, lead, or ticket detail page, scroll to the Time Logs section
- Click Log Time
- Fill in the date and time range:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | The day the work happened |
| Start | When the work began |
| End | When the work finished |
- Optionally enter a title and description
- Select a Type from the available time log types for your workspace
- Click Save
The new entry appears in the Time Logs section. A preview shows the duration as you set the start and end times.
If no time has been logged yet, the Time Logs section shows No time logged yet with a hint to click Log Time.
Edit or Delete a Time Entry
You can only edit or delete your own time entries. Running entries cannot have their start time, end time, or duration changed. Stop the timer before updating those fields.
- On the document detail page, scroll to the Time Logs section
- Hover over the entry you want to change
- Click the Edit (pencil) icon or Delete (trash) icon
- For edits, update the fields and click Update
- For delete, confirm the deletion
Deleting a time entry cannot be undone.
Time Log Types
Admins can create time log types in the workspace to categorize time entries.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | Display name shown as a badge on entries |
| Color | Badge color for visual grouping |
Types appear as selectable buttons when you log time manually. Each workspace has its own set of types. At least one type must exist before team members can log time manually. If no types exist, the type selector does not appear.
Running Timers
The global timer bar appears at the bottom of the screen when you have timers running. It shows:
- An animated equalizer icon for each running timer
- A colored dot that identifies the document type (blue for tasks, green for deals, amber for leads, purple for tickets, indigo for projects, teal for task lists)
- The timer title and elapsed time
- A red Stop button to stop the timer
- A total duration across all running timers
If you have more than three timers running, the bar collapses extras behind a +N more chip. Click the chip to expand.
Click any running timer to open its linked document.
Time Spent Summary
On project and task list detail pages, a Time Spent card shows the total duration recorded across all time entries for that document. This duration represents the sum of all stopped timer entries and manual entries linked to the document.
Time Reports
The Time Tracking report under Insights gives you charts and breakdowns of tracked time.
- In the sidebar, click the Insights icon
- Under Reports, click Time Tracking
- The report shows:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| KPI cards | Total hours, number of contributors, entry count, average duration per entry |
| Daily trend | A chart of time tracked by day |
| By member | Time tracked per team member (day-by-day breakdown) |
| By project / type / document type | Breakdown charts for each dimension |
| Breakdown table | Detailed rows you can sort by hours, entries, or contributors |
If no time entries exist in the selected range, the report shows No time tracked in this range. Widen the date range or check that team members are logging time.

Tips
- Start a timer when you begin a task and stop it when you finish for the most accurate records
- Use time log types to distinguish between categories of work (development, design, meetings, support)
- Check the Time Tracking report weekly to review team capacity and workload balance
- The Time Spent card on project and task list pages shows only stopped entries — running timers do not count toward the total
