Logged Time totals

Depending on the billing method, you may be able to find the below indexes regarding logged time associated with project.

Total time: The hours you and your team have spent working on this project.

Unbilled time: The hours worked on the project that have not been invoiced yet.

You will also find the “billable” percentage bar. In the example above, 97% of the total hours spent on the project is going to be billed to the client.

Invoicing and Costs

The indexes of this category essentially show how much you have spent, charged and how much more you can charge your client for the project, based on the work done so far. This information is only available to users with access to financial data of the organization.

-Costs and Expenses: This is how much you have spent for the project so far. Labor costs are based on the hourly cost of assignees, multiplied with time they have entered. Expenses are the purchases or other payments you have associated with the project when adding said expense. Both billable and non-billable amounts are included in the index.

-Invoiced (amount): The total of all invoices created through the “Invoice project” action.

-Uninvoiced (amount): This is the total of future invoices. It is based on your billable time entries and expenses that have been registered for the project but have not been invoiced (yet).

Project summary

You can view the state of your project in three different tabs: summary report, invoices and expenses. The summary report groups the time entries created for this project. Invoices tab informs you what part of the project is already invoiced and expenses sums up the amounts spent on your end for purchase related to project, whether billable to the client or entered as project expenses for your own finance management. See the tabs in more detail below.

In this part of the project's overview you can see all the registered time entries summed and sorted by task or assignee, as well as billable, billed and unbilled amounts.

To assist you with your reporting, you may additionally select between "Description" and "Assignee" as secondary categorization. In the following example, hours spent are grouped per task and each task is sub grouped in descriptions. By clicking the task arrow on the right column, the task entry will be broken down further per description (Landing pages in example below).
