Time Tracker - User Settings

Last Modified On: October 8, 2024

Time tracking components will display time entries logged by any user for a task in a project you own or if you have "view all/modify all" permission to the Time Entry object. This allows you to see all the time logged for the task. However, it is possible to limit the time entries displayed in the time tracking components to only those that you own, making it easier for you to focus on your own time entries, simplifying time management.

In the time tracker, the week's starting day defaults on a Sunday and runs from Sunday to Saturday. However, you can define your preferred start day for the week, making the time tracker more adaptable to your individual work schedule.

This help article will show you how to adjust your time tracker preferences.

• Filter by My Time Only - shows you how to set Time Tracker components to display only time entries you own.
   
• Set the Work Week Start - shows you how to set your work week starting day.

Please note the following:

• The time tracker settings you specify are only for you. Each user is able to define their own time tracking settings.
   

• Your time tracking settings will apply to all time tracking components (e.g. Time Tracker Tab, Time Tracker in Salesforce Task, and Time Tracker in any other object you add the component to.)

Filter by My Time Only

As mentioned at the outset of this help article, time tracking components will display time entries logged by any user for a task in a project you own, or if you have "view all/modify all" permission to the Time Entry object. This allows you to see all the time logged for the task. However, it is possible to limit the time entries displayed in the time tracking components to only those you own, making it easier for you to focus on your own time entries.

In time tracker, click on Settings Icon in the top right corner of the time tracker component.

Use the toggle for Displayed Time Entries and choose between "All Time" or "My Time".

• All Time - will display all time entries logged by any user for the task.
• My Time - will only display time entries you own.

Click on Save to save your preferences.

Set the Work Week Start

This setting allows you to define your preferred work week start day, which then adjusts how the week is displayed in both daily and weekly views of the time tracker. For example, if you select Monday as the work week start, the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

In time tracker, click on Settings Icon in the top right corner of the time tracker component.

Choose your preferred work week start from the picklist. Click on Save to save your preferences.
