Overview

The BI Comprehensive Time Logs report in your BI dashboards gives a broad view of time-tracking data through three related reports:

  • Time Logs Summary — a high-level snapshot of logged time, useful for reviewing overall hours, billing-related totals, and general time log trends.
  • Person Summary — focuses on time logged by individual people, helping compare workload, contribution, and logged hours across team members.

  • Detailed Time Sheet — provides the most granular view, showing detailed time entries for closer review, validation, and follow-up. Together, these three reports help you analyze time logs from summary level down to individual entries, which is useful for monitoring team effort, reviewing billable time, and supporting reporting or invoicing processes.

Note

The Comprehensive Time Logs report is a live1 BI report.

  3. Choose a relative date range in the Date (Relative) filter, e.g. "Last - 1 - Month(s)".
  4. If required, narrow the report period by selecting a range in the Date (Range) filter by way of date pickers or a slider. 
  5. To view various levels of data presentation use the data drill controls on the toolbar above the grid on the right. See the picture on the right.
