It presents a grid-based view of time logged across projects, cards, and ToDos, and supports both direct logging and approval-based workflows.<\/p>\n This article explains: – How the Time Tracking grid works – Which workitems appear and why – How to log, submit, and track time – <\/a>How filters, calendar, and column settings affect the view – How approval statuses impact editing and visibility.<\/p>\n To use the Time Tracking tab:<\/p>\n <\/a>Important:<\/b> The rules in this article apply only to time logged from the Time Tracking<\/b> tab. Time logged directly from card details follows a different interaction model.<\/p>\n The Time Tracking screen displays a\u00a0weekly grid<\/b>:<\/p>\n Workitems with logged time are automatically shown at the\u00a0top<\/b>\u00a0of the grid to help you focus on active work.<\/p>\n Only eligible workitems appear in the grid. A card or ToDo is shown when:<\/p>\n Workitems appear in the Time Tracking grid based on specific date rules. The visibility logic differs for Task workitems<\/b> compared to other workitem types.<\/p>\n Standard workitems contain the following date fields:<\/p>\n A standard workitem appears in the Time Tracking grid starting from the week derived from the earlier of:<\/p>\n If the workitem is created midweek, it is visible from the beginning of that week (Monday)<\/b>.<\/p>\n Date Identified allows logging time from an earlier date within the same week when applicable.<\/p>\n Standard workitems (including their associated ToDos) remain visible:<\/p>\n Task workitems follow a different visibility rule.<\/p>\n Tasks do not<\/b> rely on Date Created or Date Identified for Time Tracking visibility.<\/p>\n Instead, Task visibility depends strictly on the Planned Start Date<\/b>.<\/p>\n A Task appears in the Time Tracking grid starting from its Planned Start Date.<\/p>\n You cannot log time for a Task before its Planned Start Date, even if the Task was created earlier.<\/p>\n Tasks remain visible:<\/span><\/p>\n The calendar control allows you to switch between weeks:<\/p>\n You can log time only for weeks in which the workitem is visible based on its start and end logic.<\/p>\n Time tracking in Nimble operates on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n If you have logged time for a previous week but have not submitted it (when approval is required), that week will remain in Draft<\/b> status.<\/p>\n To submit a pending week:<\/p>\n It is recommended to ensure that all previous weeks are submitted to avoid delays in approval and reporting.<\/p>\n Note:<\/b> Remaining Effort can be updated only through the pop-up.<\/p>\n The Filter<\/b> option helps you narrow down the Time Tracking grid to focus on specific workitems. Filters affect only what is displayed on the screen and do not impact the actual logged data.<\/p>\n The Card Type<\/b> filter displays card types based on the following logic:<<\/p>\n This ensures that the Card Type filter lists only relevant workitem types that can appear in the Time Tracking grid.<\/p>\n Applied filters are displayed at the top of the screen so you can clearly see which filters are currently in use.<\/p>\n The Column Settings<\/b> option allows you to customize the grid:<\/p>\n How logged time is handled depends on whether a Timesheet Approver is assigned.<\/p>\n Statuses are shown per project in the Time Tracking grid.<\/p>\n When time is rejected:<\/p>\n It is possible that you may have logged time in a previous week but forgot to submit it for approval, or your submitted time may have been rejected by the approver. In such cases, the timesheet entry remains pending.<\/span><\/p>\n To help you quickly identify such cases, the <\/span>Time Tracking<\/b> tab displays a notification at the bottom of the screen when pending timesheet submissions exist.<\/span><\/p>\n The notification appears as:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou have X timesheet entries pending. Click here to review.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n This notification appears when:<\/span><\/p>\n Click here to review and open the <\/span>Pending Timesheet Submissions<\/b> window.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Pending Timesheet Submissions<\/b> window lists all projects where your timesheet entries require action.<\/span><\/p>\n The window displays:<\/span><\/p>\n This allows you to quickly identify and navigate to the week where action is required.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you navigate to the corresponding week and project, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n This feature helps ensure that previously logged time is not missed.<\/span><\/p>\n Even if you are currently viewing a different week in the <\/span>Time Tracking<\/b> grid, the notification highlights pending entries from earlier weeks so that you can review and submit them promptly.<\/span><\/p>\n This article explains the complete behavior of the Time Tracking tab.
