# Log time on a project

_Skileo Projects › Time tracking · Who can do this: Business owner, Member, Employee_

Click Log time, type a duration such as 1:30 or a start and end time, choose the day, project, task and job type, then save.

## Log time

1. Click “Log time”: in “Time”, on a project's “Time” tab, in a task under “Time”, or in “My work”.
2. In “How to enter the time”, choose:
   - “Duration”: type it as 1:30, 1.5 or 90m. 24 hours at most.
   - “From – To”: the time you started and the time you finished.
3. Choose the “Day”.
4. Choose the “Project” and, if you want, one of its open tasks. “No project” is for work outside any project.
5. Choose the “Job type”: the kind of work. A task's job type is chosen for you.
6. Set “Billable”: whether the customer pays for this time. See [Billable time, hourly rates and budget](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/billable-time-rates-and-budget).
7. Add a “Note” if you want, then click “Save”.

Opened from a project or a task, the window already has them filled in.

## Log time for someone else

The “Business owner”, and a “Member” with “Timesheets” set to “Edit”, see a “Person” field. Once a project is chosen, it offers the project's members.

## Where time can be logged

- Only a project's members log time on it.
- A project whose time tracking is off takes no new time. See [Create a project](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-project).
- A template takes no time.
- A day that is submitted or approved is locked: its time can't be added, changed or deleted.

## Change or delete an entry

In “Time”, or on the project's “Time” tab, click the actions button (**⋮**) on the entry:

- “Edit” opens the same window. Change what you need and save.
- “Delete” removes the entry for good, after asking.

An entry marked “Locked” belongs to a submitted or approved day and can't change.


## Common questions

### Can I log time without a project?

Yes. Choose “No project”. The time counts as working time but is never billable.

### Why isn't a project in the list?

You are not one of its members, its time tracking is off, or it is a template.

### Where does my time go?

To your time entries in “Time”. An employee's time also goes to their timesheet, where they send it for approval. See [What employees see in Projects](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/what-employees-see-in-projects).
