Time management 1: Timelog entries and time planning on a task

26 October 2020

Our team is continuously working on improving Beesbusy to better meet the needs of our users. We are thus proud to present our new time management features!

Add timelog entries on a task

Click on a task to display the details panel, then go to the When tab.

For each person assigned to the task, you can add different times. Click on “Time” next to the member’s name to expand the time panel.
You can indicate different types of time:

  • Initial: estimated time needed to complete the task
  • Achieved: time spent on completion
  • Remaining: time needed to complete the task

Add timelog entries to a task

Once timelog entries are added, they manage the progress percentage of the task (What tab).

Plan time by period

After entering timelog entries, you can plan them for specific periods.
Click on “Plan a period”, select the type (month, week, day) and the period. Once the period has been added, you can enter the corresponding time.
In the entry calendar, you will see time already entered and therefore the member’s availability.
The “Planned” field is automatically updated to include the total of planned time per period.

Plan time on a task to optimize your resources.

When you plan time, the task’s duration is then adjusted according to your entries.

Overview of timelog entries on a task

To access the timelog entries entered for all the users assigned to the task, click on the “Time” icon to the right of the task details window. The time panel then opens on the right.
This section allows you to view the total of the different types of timelog entries. Select a time from the drop-down menu to display the details by member.
