= Elements =

== Bar chart ==

The top image is a visual representation of the hours you've logged over the last 15 days. The scale changes dynamically to fit the most hours logged for a day in the 15 day window.

If no hours are logged then the column will not rise.

The bar chart is dynamic and you can click any column to go back and edit the details of that day.

== Navigation ==

* Update a different day allows you to choose a date from the date selector and edit the details of that day for any day in the past or future.

* Report my Times: provides a numerical based report of your logged hours.

== Printing Declaration ==

If the time sheets need to be printed the bars called Person and For clearly show who the time sheet is for and for what day.

This bar is also useful for administrators who have to edit other people's hours for them.

== Time Windows ==

The default time window is set in ''Main Menu > Time Tracker > Management > Time Tracker Settings > Default Time Window''

For some projects people do work outside those hours, so the ability to adjust the time window can be done manually as required.

Clicking
* All Day view sets the time windows from 00:00:00 through 23:59:59 inclusively
* Long Day view set the time window from 07:00:00 through 20:29:59 inclusively
* Office Day view sets the time window from 09:00:00 through 18:29:59 inclusively

The final wixi help button opens this wixi page in a new tab or window.

== Data Entry ==

The columns available are

{| class="wikitable"
! Title
! Description
! Link
|-
| Time || The time is for 30 minutes from 00:00 through 29:59 or 30:00 through 59:59 ||
|-
| Project || Controlled by the Projects Module, projects you have access to are included on the list ||
|-
| Work Type || Controlled by the Projects Module, work types are the types of work you can do. This is a global list of work types which can be applied to any project ||
|-
| Reference || If you use bxp as a ticketing system, it is possible to link the time logged with a specific ticket. This is great for reporting and tracking work done by piece of work. ||
|-
| Description || Anecdotal commentary by the person logging to remind themselves and a reader as to what work was being done ||
|-
| Billable || For project management some work may be chargeable to the client, some may not. Ticking the box means that the work should be billed in your opinion. ||
|-
| Personal || Some people work on projects on their own personal time. For ISO purposes all time should be logged. For billing and HR reasons a differentiation between scheduled approved work by employers and elective work done by employees needs to be clear. This box provides clarity on elective work carried out. ||
