What a Work category does
A Work category is an optional label for a kind of work. A Company might use Design, Support, or Client meetings. It is not a project plan or an attendance rule.
Contractors can record legitimate time without a Work category.
Add a Work category
People with access to manage Work categories can add, edit, archive, or restore them.
- Open Settings, then Work categories.
- Choose Add work category.
- Enter a clear name and optional description.
- Save the Work category.
Use a category while recording time
Choose the category when starting the timer or adding a Time Entry. The category stays connected to that record and can also be shown in its Timesheet evidence.
Different rates
Where the Company has set a category-specific rate term, that rate can apply to approved time in the category. Review the rate record itself before relying on the category for a financial amount.
Archived categories
Archiving stops a category from being selected for new time. Existing Time Entries keep the category so history remains understandable.
