We’re excited to announce a new feature that brings even more flexibility and insight to your time tracking: Worklog Attributes.
This enhancement allows you to attach additional context to each logged work entry, turning time logs into actionable data for smarter reporting, planning, and analysis.
Why Use Attributes?
Worklog Attributes allow teams to add meaningful context to every time entry — going far beyond simply recording hours. With these custom fields, you can capture the information that truly matters to your organization: the client or project name, type of engagement, travel distance, or reason for overtime.
Attributes can also support more advanced use cases, such as:
- Tracking different billable rates or types of work done for the same client.
- Applying bill rate modifiers based on activity type or team role.
- Marking worklogs that have been reported in previous or upcoming billing cycles for easier financial tracking.
This enables more accurate reporting and analysis, as attributes can be used to filter, group, or display data in Timesheet and Details reports.
Unlock Smarter Time Tracking with Worklog Attributes
The new Worklog Attributes in Timetracker represent a major step forward in how teams can track and analyze their time.They allow you to go beyond simple hour logging, giving your team the ability to capture structured, actionable data with every worklog.
Custom Field Types: Capture the details that matter
With Worklog Attributes, you can create custom fields tailored to your team’s needs:
- Dropdowns, Checkboxes, Numbers, or Text inputs: choose the type that fits the data you need to collect.
- Business-specific tracking: Record essential details such as billable vs. non-billable hours, client or project names, engagement type, travel time, or cost centers.
- Mandatory fields: Ensure crucial information is always captured for accurate reporting and analysis.
Advanced Reporting: Insights that were previously impossible
The real breakthrough is reporting. Previously, any extra information teams wanted to capture had to be added to worklog comments, which meant it couldn’t be searched, filtered, or used in structured analytics. Now, Worklog Attributes can be filtered, grouped, and displayed directly in Timesheet and Details reports, allowing teams to:
- Analyze time by client, project, activity type, or any custom metric.
- Track complex business scenarios such as different billable rates, work types, or worklogs across billing cycles.
- Generate precise, actionable insights to improve decision-making and planning.
Flexible Layout: Easy and consistent data entry
Attributes can be reordered on the manager page, and this order automatically applies to the Log Work and Edit Work screens. This ensures a consistent and intuitive data entry experience for all users.
By combining custom field types, advanced reporting, business-specific tracking, and flexible layout, Worklog Attributes transform every worklog into a source of structured, actionable insight, making your team’s time tracking smarter, faster, and more meaningful.
Creating and Managing Attributes
Setting up Worklog Attributes in Timetracker is quick and flexible. You can create custom fields to capture the information your team needs from text or numeric inputs to checkboxes and dropdowns.
Once created, attributes can be easily edited, reordered, archived, or deleted, giving you full control over how time entries are structured and reported.
