Many ClickUp users face challenges with time tracking accuracy and management across various tasks and projects. The inability to seamlessly track time spent on tasks, especially when multitasking or managing multiple projects simultaneously, leads to inaccuracies and inconsistencies in time logs. Users are left desiring a more intuitive and automated system within ClickUp that minimizes the need for manual inputs and adjustments, ensuring a more efficient workflow and accurate billing or project tracking. The goal is to integrate a solution that simplifies and automates time tracking directly linked to task and project activities, enabling ClickUp users to focus more on the tasks at hand rather than the operational overhead of tracking time.
🗒️ Feature Requests
- Multi-Task Time Management:
Address scenarios where multiple tasks may be open concurrently by only tracking the most recently interacted with task. Include options to manually switch which task is being timed or allow users to configure rules that best fit their workflow. - Periodic User Confirmation:
Integrate periodic confirmations asking if the user is still working on the task. This minimizes inaccuracies in time logging especially when users may forget to stop the timer after task completion or during unexpected work interruptions. - Status Change Time Trigger:
Implement time tracking triggers based on task status changes. For instance, start tracking when a task status shifts to 'In Progress' and stop when it changes to 'Completed'. This feature should allow customization to fit various workflow models within ClickUp. - Task-Based Automatic Time Tracking:
Automatically start and stop the time tracker when a task is opened and closed. This should include customizable settings to adjust which tasks should have auto-tracking enabled, catering to both users who work directly on tasks and managers who merely oversee tasks.
