Read your week, and add hours up over a period

Your week. Min uke shows one week at a time with a Ukessum. Move with Forrige uke, Neste uke and Denne uken. I dag is marked, and anything currently being timed shows as Pågår nå.

The week as a grid. The two small buttons next to Til avklaring switch between Vis som liste over dager and Vis som ukerutenett. The grid works like a PowerOffice timesheet: one row per project, part of a project or task, one column per day, with a Sum per row and Per dag at the bottom. Your choice is remembered on this device.

1. 1Legg til rad and pick the project, and if you like a part of it and a task.
2. 2Click a day and type the hours (1,5 or 1:30). Leave the cell with Tab or Enter and the hours are saved. Billable is set from the project, exactly as in Log hours.
3. 3Type a new number to change an hour, or clear the cell to remove it.

The small mark in the corner of a cell says whether that hour is billable: a tick for Fakturerbart, a dash for Ikke fakturerbart and a dotted circle for Ikke avklart. Hover over it to read it. To change the note, the billable choice, the day or anything else, point at the cell and click the pencil: it opens the same form as the list.

Registered absence shows in both the list and the grid, under the day it covers and counted in that day's total. A full day counts as your normal working hours. It cannot be typed over; register or change absence with Registrer fravær, which is in both views.

A cell with a lock cannot be typed into. Tap it to see why: Her er det ført flere timer. Endre dem i listevisningen. An hour that is invoiced, or approved in the accounting system, cannot be changed at all. One that is only sent to the accounting system still has its pencil.

Adding it all up. Switch to Timer for totals over a longer period.

1. 1Pick the period: Denne uken, Forrige uke, Denne måneden, Forrige måned or Siste 90 dager.
2. 2Set Grupper etter to the question you are asking: Kunde, Prosjekt, Salgsmulighet, Sak, Oppgave or Person.
3. 3Read the four numbers at the top: Totalt, Fakturerbart, Ikke avklart and Til fakturering.

Grouping is the whole trick. The same hours grouped by Kunde answers "who is eating our time"; by Person it answers "how is the team loaded"; by Sak it tells you which support customer is unprofitable. Change one dropdown rather than running three reports.

Til fakturering is the number to act on: billable hours that have not yet been marked as invoiced. See Billable, not billable, and invoiced.

Hours with no customer are grouped under Ingen kunde — usually internal work, and usually the first thing to look at when the billable percentage is disappointing.
