Tracking Time for Events

Time Tracking for CRM enables you to keep track of time spent on events with the option to bill that time to customers. Before you can use this feature, an administrator must enable the Time Tracking for CRM feature. See Enabling Time Tracking for CRM.

To track time on event records:

  1. Go to Activities > Scheduling > Events.

  2. On the Events list, click the event for which you want to track time.

  3. On the Event record, click the Time Tracking subtab.

    Note:

    If any case, task, or event record has more than 9500 time entries to display on the Time Tracking subtab, all events display a static list of time entries. You cannot edit entries directly from the list.

  4. Click New Time.

    A new time transaction window opens.

  5. Your name is selected in the Employee field by default. Other employees, as well as vendors, can be selected here.

    Note:

    For private events, only employees and vendors listed as attendees on the event record can track time against the event.

  6. Enter information for this time transaction.

    For more information about entering time for Time Tracking, see Entering a Time Transaction.

    For more information about entering time for Timesheets, see Timesheets.

  7. When you have finished, click Save.

If the Billable box is checked, you can bill the customer for this time on the Billable Time subtab when you create an invoice. View reports for time spent on cases, tasks and events on the Reports tab, under the Project/Time Tracking heading.

All employee names are listed on the Time subtab by default.

Note:

For instructions for limiting employees' ability to enter time records, see Restricting Employee Time Tracking Entries.
