Task-level records
Associate effort with a concrete piece of work.
AMS · Connected business workflows
Time tracking — Make effort visible.
Record time against the task so the work and the effort stay connected.
Who this helps
Teammates recording effort and leads discussing how much work a deliverable required.
The situation
A task’s status says it progressed, but the team also needs to understand the effort spent exploring and refining it.
Fictional example: Nour records two hours of concept exploration and another hour and a half refining the direction. This website example makes no live changes.

Questions and requirements
Do I have to use a running timer?
No. Supported workflows include timers and manual entries for completed work. Time tracking requires an eligible paid plan.
Will these hours automatically appear on an invoice?
No. A time entry is a record of effort, not an automatic invoice line. Entry changes and access to other people’s information follow the applicable controls.
Requirements and limits
Time tracking requires an eligible paid plan. A time entry is not automatically a billable invoice line.

Make a separate commercial decision about any work that should be invoiced.
Keep quotations, line items and draft invoices close to the work they represent.
Fictional example: a $1,000 accepted quotation contains $750 for creative work and $250 for content planning.
Before you use it
Accepting a quotation does not automatically send an invoice or collect payment. Sample amounts are fictional.
