Q1: Why can't I see a user when entering time? What is the purpose of the "Time Tracking?" option?
Answer: The "Time Tracking?" checkbox is important for optimizing your user experience. We aim to declutter your view, particularly when projects involve numerous users. When the "Time Tracking?" checkbox is not selected in a user's profile, their name will not appear in the Time Cards view. This thoughtful design choice ensures that you are presented with only essential information, preventing overwhelming clutter. However, rest assured that you can still access their time entries conveniently through TimeCenter.
Q2: Why can't I just immediately see their name without the need for the "Time Tracking?" option?
Answer: The inclusion of the "Time Tracking?" checkbox is designed to prevent clutter and information overload. In scenarios where there are many users contributing to a project, displaying all names immediately could overwhelm your view and make it difficult to locate the specific user you are looking for.
Q3: How does the "Time Tracking?" checkbox work?
Answer: If the "Time Tracking?" checkbox is selected in a user's profile, their name will appear when entering time in the Time Cards view. This means that you can easily associate time entries with the corresponding user. On the other hand, if the checkbox is not selected for a user, their name will not be displayed in the Time Cards view. However, you can still access their time entries through TimeCenter, maintaining a balance between visibility and clutter.
