Read hours correctly
| Input | Meaning |
|---|---|
7:30 | 7 hours and 30 minutes. |
7.5 | 7½ hours, also 7 hours and 30 minutes. |
7.30 | 7.3 decimal hours: 7 hours and 18 minutes. |
0:15 | 15 minutes, not 0.15 hours. |
Decimal input is rounded to the nearest whole minute. The rounding interval for automatic tracking is a separate setting.
Review automatic hours
Completed automatic registrations can create highlighted days marked Automatic · Review hours. Open Show to see the underlying start times, end times and duration before rounding.
- Compare the recorded time with the work you actually did.
- Correct the daily hours if necessary and save your changes.
- Confirm the hours with the review checkbox. Confirm automatic entries before locking the week.

Lock a finished week
When the entries are saved and automatic hours are confirmed, enable Lock week. The day fields become read-only. Empty days in that week are protected too.
To make a correction, turn off Lock week and confirm the unlock. Edit, save and lock again when ready.
