Logging hours against tasks
How hours are recorded on a card, what each entry stores and where you see them all together. This is not the attendance log.
Time tracking tells you how much a piece of work actually cost. Every hour you log is attached to one specific card, with who did it and what they did, and that is where your billable hours — and your blown budgets — come from.
This is not the attendance log
Logging hours against a task and clocking in your workday are two separate features in Tasuki. Here you record **what** you worked on, task by task, so you can bill it. Clock-in records **your working day** — start, end, breaks and hour balance — and is what Spanish law has required since RD-ley 8/2019. They neither add up nor replace each other: see **Clocking in your workday**.
Logging hours on a card
- Open the card and find the Time block.
- Press Start timer when you begin.
- When you stop, the entry is saved with its start time, end time, duration and a description of the work done.
What the Time block shows
- TOTAL: every hour the whole team has logged on that card. If the card carries an estimate, the percentage consumed sits next to it.
- MINE: what you logged yourself.
- EST: the estimate the work started with.
- Below it, the table of entries with Member, Date and Duration, plus the description of each one.
In the demo workspace, «Creación Web - Captura Studio» has 12h 16m against a 20h estimate: 61 % consumed with the card still in progress.
The description is what makes an entry useful
«Set up 301 redirects and validate SEO after the migration» explains an hour and a half to anyone, the client included. «Work» explains nothing, and in three weeks it will not explain it to you either. Always write it.
The Time tracking view
To see hours outside the cards, open Time tracking in the sidebar. There you get the hours for a period grouped by day, with each day's total, and every row carries the time range, the task, the project, that task's status and the duration. Hover over a row for the full detail: start, end, duration, description and person.
At the top you pick the date range, there are filters, and you can see the number of entries and the total for the period.
Log on the same day
The timer is convenient, but what saves a report is the habit. Reconstructing a week on Friday afternoon produces round, false numbers, and a false number bills just as badly as an invented one.
What next
Once there are hours in the system, the next question is what to read into them: Time reports and balance. And if what you need is your team's attendance record, that is Clocking in your workday.
