project editor - time section

  • Updated

The Time feature in the Cases workspace allows users to view and manage all recorded time entries across the projects they are involved in within Neostella.

Created Time entries are automatically consolidated in the Time menu and are also available within the corresponding Project. This provides a centralized, chronological view of time entries, allowing users to monitor work across multiple Projects without navigating into each one individually. The same entries can also be accessed within each Project for a more detailed, case-specific view; this ensures full visibility and control over how time is distributed across tasks and projects.

Key Benefits

Through the Time feature, users can:

  • Centralized time visibility: View all time entries across projects in a single dashboard or within each project’s Time section.
  • Chronological tracking: Access a structured, time-ordered record of all work performed.
  • Advanced filtering: Filter entries by Project, Task, Entry Date, and Billable or Non-billable status.
  • Project-level visibility: Review all time entries related to a specific project in one place.
  • Improved operational awareness: Understand how time is distributed across tasks and projects.
  • Accurate and audit-ready data: Maintain consistent, reliable time records for billing and reporting.

  • You can find all your related Time Entries in the Time menu of the Cases workspace.
