Admin Guide - Exclude Task Status from Time Tracker

Time Tracker allows assigned resources to log the time they spend working on their assigned Tasks. By default, the Time Tracker page will display your assigned tasks where the task duration falls within the week displayed. Within the Records List on the left, you will see all Projects where Project Status is not "Completed" or "Canceled" and where there are Tasks assigned to you. 

There may be instances, however, where you may not want tasks of a certain status to display in Time Tracker. For example, you may not want completed or deferred tasks to display.

There is a custom setting within Time Tracker Settings that lets you specify which Task statuses to exclude from displaying in Time Tracker. This help article will show you how to define which task statuses to exclude from Time Tracker.
