Frequently Asked Questions

Can I assign my working hours to projects or clients?

In Time Cockpit, working hours can be recorded directly for a project, which is always assigned to a client. Of course, you also have the option to use Time Cockpit for classic time tracking without assigning time to a project or task. This flexibility allows Time Cockpit to adapt to your individual requirements.

How can I use Time Cockpit for general time tracking in addition to project time tracking?

Comprehensive time tracking is essential—even for hours not linked to traditional billable projects. With Time Cockpit, you can easily define projects for overarching tasks like HR, marketing, or administration. This way, you can structure all working hours and maintain an overview of all activities. Additionally, you can leverage the benefits of project time tracking: the tracked hours can be analyzed for controlling purposes, helping you identify optimization opportunities and better manage internal processes.

Can I create custom reports?

Yes, using the SQL Server Reporting Builder, you can create custom printable reports tailored to your needs. Moreover, Time Cockpit allows you to export any list as MS Word, MS Excel, or PDF documents for maximum flexibility in processing your data.

Is there a limit on clients, projects, or tasks?

No, there is no fixed limit for clients, projects, or tasks in Time Cockpit. You can create as many records as needed, making the software adaptable to the size and complexity of your organization.

Can I define permissions for clients, projects, and tasks?

Time Cockpit provides a standard set of permissions that covers many typical requirements. If your needs go beyond this, you can define a custom permission framework tailored to your organization’s specific needs. Our team is happy to assist you in developing the ideal solution for your requirements. (Link to documentation?)

Can I import or export data?

Yes, Time Cockpit allows both data import and export. For importing, practical features like the Excel Importer enable you to easily import projects, clients, or tasks from spreadsheets. Export options include lists and reports in formats such as MS Excel, MS Word, or PDF. This makes it easy to process your data further and integrate it into other systems. (Link to documentation?)

Does Time Cockpit offer a start/stop function?

Instead of a traditional start/stop function, Time Cockpit features the innovative Activity Tracker. This optional digital assistant automatically records what you’re working on on your PC—without requiring you to manually start or stop a task. If you forget to operate the timer, you might lose track of your work. With the Activity Tracker, this won’t happen: it remembers everything. In the Time Cockpit graphical calendar, you can see what you’ve worked on at any time and conveniently log your project times at the end of the day, week, or even month—ensuring no billable time is overlooked.
