Question 1:
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 Time Center.
Question 2:
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.
Question 3:
How do I enable the Time Tracking option?
