Overview

With Fergus, you have the flexibility to add time entries through the desktop version, not just the mobile app. In this article, we will discuss two effective methods to streamline this process and ensure accurate time tracking on Fergus web.

Getting started

Let's start by reviewing the job card. First, open the relevant job card and click on the "Labour" tab, which is located next to the "Scheduling" tab. This section will show all existing time entries for this job phase. You can add new time entries or edit existing ones for any employee, provided you have the appropriate permissions enabled in your user settings.

To add a new time entry:

  1. Use the panel on the left.

  2. Select the correct staff member at the top.

  3. Choose the date, start and end time.

  4. Add a description.

  5. And if needed, include any unchargeable time so Fergus can exclude it from the customer’s invoice.

Once you have completed your entry, click on "Add Time Entry" at the bottom. Fergus will ask whether the labour is complete or still in progress; your choice will determine where the job appears on your Status Board. The new entry will be shown on the right-hand side as a confirmed time entry. To edit an entry, click the pencil icon, make your changes, and then click "Save." If you want to delete an entry, simply click the "X" next to it.

Timesheet Overview Report

You can add and edit time entries using the Timesheet Overview Report conveniently located under the Reports menu in the top-right corner. This feature is valuable for editing existing entries and adding uncharged time, such as internal meetings. However, to create new job-specific entries, you’ll need to navigate through the relevant job card, using the abovementioned method. By default, you'll see your own entries. To view entries from other users, you can adjust the filter in the top-left corner. To edit an entry, click the pencil icon and make your changes.

Uncharged time

With Fergus, you can add uncharged time for activities like office meetings with just a few simple steps:

  1. Click on "Add Uncharged Time" located at the bottom left of the pertinent date box. Input the start and end times for the meeting.

  2. Select a reason for this entry and provide a brief description to add context.

  3. Hit "Save" when you're finished.
