Time tracking allows you to monitor how long team members are working on tasks both within and across your projects.

This guide focuses on tracking time with Nifty's built-in Time Tracker. If you're a Harvest user, check out our Harvest Time Tracking integration.

When you open a task or subtask, you'll see a Start Timer button in the top-right corner of the task view.

Time will start being tracked once you hit the start button, and the time tracking widget will appear in the bottom left corner of Nifty.
​

You can also track time directly from My Work or the List view by hovering over a task name and clicking the Start Timer button, eliminating the need to manually open each task.

To stop tracking a task, you can do one of the following:

The pencil icon on either the task or your sidebar tracking widget allows you to edit the amount of time logged for that task. Time must be inputted in the following format:

Be sure to include the ":" between the hours, minutes, and seconds if you delete them while editing a task duration. Pressing the Stop icon afterward will save this time entry for the Task and Project.

If you'd like to edit the duration of a task you've already logged, keep reading!

Use Add Manual Time if you need to backdate when a task was tracked. You can find this feature in the options menu (three dots) of a task.
​

Here, you'll be prompted to manually enter the number of hours logged on the task, along with the start date and time for the tracking. Make sure to input the time in hh:mm format.

Select Add to input the time tracking entry.

Manually inputted time will have a (manual) note indicated in the time logs.

There are various ways to report on tracked time within Nifty. You can report tracked time on the project level, user level, or workspace level. As with all reporting in Nifty, users can only see time logged in projects they're invited to and tasks that are visible to them.

Project Time Reports offer a customizable date range and a user filter, allowing you to view individual or collective time tracking entries within a specific date range for the project.

There are two ways to access the time log:
