Some customers have asked if it’s possible to remove the billable option when adding new time entries. The goal is to prevent users from changing the billable status from its default setting.

How to view other people’s timesheets

Intervals limits the viewing, editing, and approving of other people’s timesheets to only administrator level users. This is by design. A person’s timesheet captures time across multiple projects.

How to add time to a project

While Intervals does place an emphasis on tracking time on individual tasks, it does not require you to do so. You also have the option to add general time to projects.

When you submit your timesheet for approval you are notifying the administrators of your account that your time for the week is ready to be reviewed and approved.

The default description of work performed is set at 255 characters. If you need more space, there is a setting that can be configured.
