To-dos are tasks that can be assigned to team members to track time on a specific part of an overall project in Hubstaff. Time tracked to to-dos can be viewed in reports or included in invoices to know how much time was spent on each to-do.
Once a project is linked with integration, the simple to-dos are automatically removed. They are still available on reports if any time was tracked on them, but they will no longer show up in the Hubstaff application. If a project is unlinked from an integration, then the simple to-dos are restored automatically and are once again available for use.
