You can now choose a simpler time logging interface for your team, so people log more time and log it more accurately. Admins decide which fields their team fills in and which get calculated automatically. Less friction on the timesheet means better data feeding your budgets, margins and forecasts.
Anyone who's chased a team for missing time entries knows the real problem. It's rarely that people don't want to log their hours. It's that the form asks for too much, so they put it off, guess later, or skip it entirely. Every gap in that data is a gap in your view of profitability.
What's changed with timelogging in teamwork.com
Admins can now switch between a simplified and an advanced time logging panel, and control exactly what each person is asked to fill in. Before, everyone saw the same set of fields whether they needed them or not. Now you tailor the panel to how your team actually works.
The simplified panel strips the log entry back to the essentials. Fewer boxes, less scrolling, quicker submissions. For most people logging billable hours day to day, that's all they need.
The advanced panel is still there for teams that want the full set of controls. Nothing's been taken away. You just get to decide who sees what.
Why does a simpler interface lead to better data?
People log time more consistently when the form takes seconds, not minutes. That's the whole point. When the panel only asks for what's genuinely needed, entries get filled in as work happens rather than reconstructed on a Friday afternoon.
And accuracy compounds. Time captured in the moment beats time guessed at the end of the week, every time. That accuracy flows straight into your cost per deliverable, your project budgets and your utilisation numbers. Cleaner input, numbers you can trust on the way out.
For leaders trying to protect margin, this matters more than it looks. You can't price the next project confidently if the record of the last one is full of holes.

What can admins control now?
With simple mode, you pick one rule up front and stick to it. That single choice is what stops the fields fighting each other, so no more of this: adjust the duration and it moves your start time, nudge the end time and something else shifts. You've got two options:
A duration plus either a start or an end time. Someone logs how long they spent and when they started or finished, and the third value is worked out for them.
A start and end time, with duration locked. Someone sets when they started and finished, and the duration isn't editable, so nothing gets silently recalculated behind them.
Whichever you choose, the fields on screen match the rule. No guessing which value you meant to change, and no unexpected recalculations.
Who is this for?
This is built for the people responsible for delivery data, so operations leads, PMOs and heads of delivery, and the teams doing the logging.
If you run a services business where accurate time is the foundation of your budgets and billing, this gives you a lever you didn't have before. You can make time logging feel effortless for your team without losing the detail you need at your end.
Consultants, agencies and IT services teams tend to feel this most. When billable time is your revenue, the difference between "roughly logged" and "accurately logged" shows up directly on the invoice and in the margin.
How do you set it up?
Go into your time logging settings, choose between the simplified and advanced panel, and configure the fields. That's it. You can decide what your team needs to input and what Teamwork.com works out on their behalf.

Once it's set, your team just logs time as normal. They'll notice a cleaner panel. You'll notice more of them actually filling it in.
The bigger picture
Time is the raw material behind almost every commercial decision a services business makes. Pricing, profitability, forecasting, resourcing, all of it leans on knowing where the hours went. When the data going in is thin or late, the numbers coming out can't be trusted.
Simplifying the interface isn't about doing less. It's about capturing more of what matters by asking for less of what doesn't. Real numbers from real delivery, logged as work happens.
Head into your time logging settings to set up the simplified panel for your team, and see how much cleaner your time data gets. Most tools track work. We make it profitable.
