Create Total Project Time Report

One of the most crucial things you can track in any project is the total amount of time spend working on it. Such information can then be used later to help calculate costs, assess the effectiveness of your team etc.

Once recorded, project time reports in activeCollab can be easily extracted. To extract one just visit a project's Time tab and click the Report button in the top right corner. Every time report previously logged will be displayed in the drop down menu for you to choose from (any filters that you apply will only be used in this project).

If you wish to create another report, click the New Report Button that is available after clicking the Report button in the project's Time tab. To run a report that lists every time record for a project, just set it up as follow:

1. Name the report ("Total Time", or however you wish);
2. Type in the Report Group name (optional);
3. Decide whether the report will be summarized per user or not;
4. In the Assigned to field select Anyone;
5. In the For Day field choose Any Time;
6. In the Status field select Any.

As you can see, creating a report that lets you see the total time from any project can be easily done. What you can also do though is change the reporting criteria (Assigned to, For Day and Status), and create more specific time reports (eg. time logged by one person; time logs for specific date; display all billed time etc.)

Any time reports that you set-up with certain criteria for specific projects in this way, will also be available for each of your other projects as well as global time reports.
