Summary
Teamwork.com's simplified time logging is a personal setting that lets you reduce the number of fields you fill in when logging time — no admin setup or team-wide switch required. You choose a stripped-down panel or the full advanced one, and pick whether Teamwork.com calculates your duration or your start/end time automatically. Fewer fields means entries get logged as work happens instead of reconstructed later, feeding more accurate data into budgets, margins, and forecasts.
You can now choose a simpler time logging interface in Teamwork.com for yourself, so you log time faster and more accurately. You pick the fields you want to fill in and which ones get calculated automatically — there's no team-wide switch, and no admin has to set it up for you. Less friction on your own timesheet means better data feeding your team's budgets, margins and forecasts.
What's changed with time logging in Teamwork.com
Time logging used to ask everyone for the same set of fields regardless of whether they needed them. Now you can switch between a simplified and an advanced panel for your own account, and control exactly what you're asked to fill in.
Why does a simpler interface lead to better data?
The form asks for too much, so people put it off, guess later, or skip it entirely. Missing time entries create gaps in profitability visibility. When someone can log time in a couple of fields instead of six, they're far more likely to log it as the work happens rather than reconstructing it days later.

What can you control now?
You decide which fields you fill in and which get calculated automatically:
Simplified panel: a stripped-down set of essential fields.
Advanced panel: the full set of options, for anyone who wants more granular control.
Within either panel, you pick one of two rules:
A duration plus either a start or an end time — the system calculates the missing value automatically.
A start and end time, with duration locked — duration stays fixed so nothing gets silently recalculated.
With simple mode, you pick one rule up front and stick to it.
Who is this for?
Anyone logging time, especially on teams where the old form's field count made people skip it — consultants, agencies, and IT services firms where billable time directly impacts revenue.
How do you set it up?
Go into your own time logging settings, choose between the simplified and advanced panel, and configure the fields. Nobody else needs to do this for you.

The bigger picture
Accuracy flows straight into your cost per deliverable, your project budgets and your utilisation numbers. Capturing time as work happens rather than reconstructing it later improves data reliability for pricing, budgeting, and forecasting decisions.
Head into your own time logging settings to set up the panel that works for you, and see how much cleaner your time data gets. Most tools track work. We make it profitable.
