Creating a Time Entry

Time entries are logs/records which explain the process that you are carrying out for the time being

Time Entries are simply separate units of time. In each and every time entry, information about the stop and start time are included along with the app and duration. To a time entry, information regarding tags, project, and description is included.

In the given example…

Copywriting is the description of time entry. The associated project is design. The associated client is the EastForrest. Antelope is the added tag. Billable nature is signified by $ icon. This time entry’s duration is 30:03.
