Time and costs

Time and costs is defined as a module which allows users to log time and unit costs on work packages. Once the time and costs module is activated, time and costs can be logged via the action menu of a work package.

Project administrators can enable or disable time tracking activities and cost types for individual projects.

Before they can be enabled in a project, time tracking activities and cost types must first be configured by an administrator under Administration → Time and costs. For details, see the Time and costs administration guide.
