Complete User Guide

This consolidated guide walks everyday users through the full feature set you can access (excluding developer‑only internals). Use it as a jump point to specialized articles.

Navigation & Dashboard

  • Dashboard Widgets: Overview of projects, time, tasks, reports.
  • Customization: Rearrange/hide sections (see Dashboard article).
  • Notifications: Bell + floating chat/time UI elements.

Projects

  • Create projects with name, client, budget (optional).
  • Assign members & set visibility.
  • Track progress, time & costs.

Tasks (Kanban)

  • Create tasks, drag between status columns.
  • Attach files, assign members, set due dates.
  • Premium feature if labeled with badge.

Time Tracking

  • Start/stop timers from project list or floating widget.
  • Manual entries for missed work periods.
  • Break handling & conflict resolutions prompts.

Teams & Users

  • Teams are organizational only (no permissions).
  • Your role defines what you can do.
  • Leaders may see additional reports if role permits.

Reporting

  • Generate time, productivity & cost summaries.
  • Export data (PDF / CSV / Excel if plan allows).
  • Filter by date range, project, user, team.

Messaging & Notifications

Use the floating chat button to open the conversation panel. Real‑time updates arrive via SSE and push (if you enabled browser permissions).

  • Chat: Team communication with attachment support.
  • Inline Alerts: Time tracking status, session conflicts.
  • Push: Optional out‑of‑app reminders.

Subscriptions & Feature Access

  • Free plan: core projects, basic time tracking, simple collaboration.
  • Upgrades unlock Kanban, advanced reports, export & priority support.
  • Badges or upgrade prompts appear where features are gated.

Quick Tips

  • Pin the floating time/chat widget by keeping the page scrolled to top.
  • Review time entries daily to avoid adjustments later.
  • Use descriptive task titles; helps reporting accuracy.
  • Check role if you can’t access a page—teams don’t grant access.
