Use Time Management

Track your time in Service Desk, and learn more about the various views, settings, reports and time entries.

Service Desk provides a time-recording functionality that enables technicians to log the time spent working on records, as well as access visualizations of the work completed and generate reports. Time management can be accessed by selecting Service Desk > Time.

Note:  If you do not have this option in your Service Desk drop-down menu, you do not have Time Management rights. Only administrators on your account can give you those rights.

Account administrators can grant agents the following permissions for time management: 

  • No Access – These users will not have any visibility or access to Time.
  • Time User – These users are allowed to log time spent working on records for services to which can access. They can also access and use the Service Desk Timesheet and can run simple reports on their logged time from the My Time Report page.
  • Time Admin – These users have all the rights of a Time user, but also has the ability to report on all users and all services (regardless of those to which they can access).

Timesheet Day View

The Timesheet Day View provides a visual representation of the work done throughout the week.

View present time logs – To view time entries that are currently logged on a timesheet, use the navigation as follows:

(a) Day View – Access timesheets in daily increments.

(b) Weekly navigation – Use the left/right arrows to skip timesheets by weekly increments.

(c) Date selected – View the date you currently have selected on the timesheet.

(d) Go to Today – Jump to the current date.

(e) Weekday navigation – Select the day of the week to view current time entries.

  4. Enter a description based on one of the following criteria:

  5. Enter hour(s) worked.
  6. Click billable if the time entry will be billed. Leave unmarked if the time entry is not billable.
  7. Add a comment if desired. You can also use hashtags (e.g., "#overtime") to create new categories for your time entries.
  8. Click add.
  9. Click Save.

Remove time logs – To delete time entries from a timesheet, follow these steps:

  1. Click Day View.
  2. Navigate to your desired date.

  3. Select Services (i.e., all services, one of the named services, or non service specific).

Categorizing Time Entries

Agents can also categorize their time entries by including hashtags (e.g., "#overtime"). As soon as the “#” character is typed into the description, all saved tags will be stored for future use. You can then select an existing hashtag to re-use the existing time category, or keep typing to create a brand new category. Time categories can be used anywhere time is logged within Service Desk. Use hashtags to categorize your time entries as follows:

  1. Click Day View.
  2. Navigate to your desired date.
  3. To add hashtags when creating new time entries, see above. To add hashtags to existing time entries, type a hashtagged word into the add comment field.
  4. Click Save.
