Time Tracking Overview

Time Tracking enables users to record how they use their time, both inside and outside of the Kaseya application.

  • Timesheets are the main records used to track users' time. Time entries within a timesheet integrate with other functions in the VSA, depending on their work type: administrative tasks, work orders, service desk tickets, or project tasks. You can also export timesheets for billing purposes outside of the VSA.
  • Timers provide an easy way of creating time entries. Users can start and stop one or more timers and generate time entries for the elapsed times. Timers don't have to turn off when you log out of the VSA. You can log back in several hours later and apply the elapsed time then, up to a maximum of 24 hours.
  • My Timesheets - Your own timesheets are accessed using Time Tracking > My Timesheets.
  • Approved Timesheets - Timesheets are approved using Time Tracking > Approve Timesheets.
  • Time Tracking Reports - See the Timesheet Summary and Timesheet Entries reports in InfoCenter > Reports.

Note: See Time Tracking configuration options.
