- Sorry if this is really obvious, but I can't find how to add tasks to a project from the web interface. I can only do it from the desktop application. Thanks.
To add tasks from the web, just click on the "Start" button in front of the project name you wish to track time on.
- Can I enter time in some other format besides HH:MM:SS while editing it?
Yes, there are actually quite many other options. For example instead
of 01:30:00 you can enter simply 1,5 or 1,5h for that, 1:30 does the
trick too. 90 or 90m or 90 min also means the same. But be careful,
because while 2,0 means 2 hours, just 2 means 2 minutes. 120s or 120
sec is automatically counted as 2 minutes and so is 0:2. When entering
time, you can use both . and , as decimal symbols.
- Help! I tracked time on a wrong project.
Don't worry, you can change the project from the Edit task window. To
open that, find the task in the report and click on its description.
- Why should I close my tasks?
The best way to use Toggl's time tracking is to divide your bigger
tasks into smaller ones that you can track and complete independently.
If the task is very time consuming but cannot be divided into smaller
parts, you can create a new task with the same name each day and close
it in the evening.
That way you'll be able to keep track of how much
time was spent on that task on a daily basis. You can also read the how-to in our blog.
- I completed my task but I can't see it in the report.
Reports show tasks organizing them by their start date. If you started
a task last week and closed it today, then it will be visible in last
week's report.
- If I am timing a task and then move to another workspace and start a new project, will the timer automatically stop running?
No. It will continue running until you stop it, or until you start
timing a new task. The reason is that this function provides the
possibility of timing a task that involves creating new projects or new
workspaces.
- Could I close a task in just one click instead of having to confirm it always?
You can set your preference under My settings whether or not Toggl will ask for confirmation on closing a task.
- Can I track time on several tasks at once?
No, you can actively track time on only one task at a time. However,
you can have many tasks open at the same time and switch tracking time
between them as often as necessary.
- Can I edit the time?
No problem. You can just click on the time of the task to edit it. Check out the
step-by-step tutorial in our blog.
- I'd like to change time on a closed task. How can I do that?
You can do that if you locate the task in a report and click on its
description. The Edit task window will then open where you can change
the task details, like time, date or even project.
- How can I track time worked offline?
For that you can simply create a new task and set it's time and date manually by clicking on either one of them.
