Time Tracker - User Settings

Last Modified On: October 8, 2024

Time tracking components will display time entries based on the user's permission settings. If the org-wide default sharing setting for the Time Entry object is set to public read-only (or public read/write), or if you have "view all/modify all" permission for the Time Entry object, then you will see all time entries for a task - even those you do not own). This allows you to see all the time logged for the task. By default, time tracking components will filter time entries to those you own. However, you can adjust your time tracker settings to display all time entries, if preferred.

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.

• Display My Time Only or All Time - shows you how to set Time Tracker components to display only time entries you own or all time entries.
   
• 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).

Display My Time Only or All Time

Time tracking components will display time entries based on the user's permission settings. If the org-wide default sharing setting for the Time Entry object is set to public read-only (or public read/write), or if you have "view all/modify all" permission for the Time Entry object, then you will see all time entries for a task - even those you do not own. By default, time tracking components will filter time entries to those you own. However, you can adjust your time tracker settings to display all time entries, if preferred.

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 (this is the default) - will only display time entries you own.

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.
