Recording Time Worked in the Activities Time View

The Activity Time view lets end users log time worked for individual activities. Time entries recorded in the Activity Time view are also visible in the My Time Diary view, until they are included in a time sheet for a specific period.

The following procedure explains how to record time worked for a specific activity.

  1. Navigate to the Activities screen.
  2. From the Show drop-down list, select My Activities.
  3. In the Activities list, select the activity for which you want to record time worked.
  4. Click the Time view tab.
