Overview

The Timelog View shows timelog entries for all tasks and subtasks within a particular Folder or Project. When you view the Timelog for a particular Folder or Project you see entries added to all tasks and subtasks from directly within that Folder/Project and from all descendant Subfolders and Subprojects as well.

Use filters to narrow down the information you see.
