My Time

Last updated

My Time is your personal timesheet. It lists every time entry you have logged in projects you can see, with totals at the top, and lets you quickly log non-billable time against any active project you belong to. It deliberately shows durations and statuses only — never rates, amounts or currencies.

Use it to check what you have logged this week, see how many entries are waiting for approval, and record internal work (meetings, site visits, admin) without opening each project. For billable time, editing, submitting or deleting entries, use the project's Time tab (Time tracking).

Where to find it

How Details
Sidebar Menu → My Time (stopwatch icon).
Command palette Ctrl K (Cmd K on Mac) → type My Time.
URL /projects/my/time.

Plan: time tracking is a Standard plan feature and above. On Free, opening /projects/my/time directly shows the plan notice Not available on your plan ("This feature isn't included in your organization's current plan."), or Your paid plan has expired after a lapse.

Who sees it: every SolaProjects user. You only ever see your own entries; managers review other people's time on a project's Time Approval tab.

Worked examples

Example 1 — logging a site visit

  1. Log time → Project Al Noor Showroom Fit-out · ALN-FIT, Date 4 Oct 2026, Hours 3, Minutes 30, Notes Site visit with contractor, snag list.
  2. Log time → Time logged (non-billable).
  3. The table's top row: Oct 4 · Al Noor Showroom Fit-out / ALN-FIT · — · 3h 30m · Non-billable · Draft. Total logged rises by 3h 30m.

Example 2 — checking a week before approval

Omar Haddad wants to check 28 Sep – 4 Oct before submitting.

  1. From 2026-09-28, To 2026-10-04: 6 entries, 31h 15m across ALN-FIT and DMW-RCK; two are Rejected.
  2. Pending approval shows 3 — Waiting for review.
  3. He opens Dubai Main Warehouse Racking → Time, fixes the two rejected entries (wrong date) and submits them.
  4. Back on My Time → Refresh: Pending approval shows 5; those rows now read Submitted.

Activity Each logged entry records Time entry created in the project's activity.
Automations Logging time can trigger time entry created automations.

Tips and common problems

Problem Cause Fix
Log time button is missing. Time writing is switched off for your workspace. Use the project's Time tab, or ask your administrator.
A project is missing from the list. It is archived, or you are not a member. Restore it or ask to be added on the Team tab.
"The entry date must be a date before or equal to today." Future date. Log time on or after the day you work.
Totals don't match the filtered table. Tiles cover all entries. Add up the filtered rows instead.
I need billable time. My Time always saves non-billable. Log it on the project's Time tab.
Not available on your plan. Free plan. Upgrade to Standard or higher.
