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. A manager level user may or may not have access to those same projects. An administrator level user, however, is able to view all people and 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.

How to submit your timesheet for approval

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.
