Time and Activity Report

Reporting time tracked on specific projects or tasks

The Time and Activity report is the most comprehensive report that we provide. The report provides time your staff spends on projects and tasks, their activity on the projects and tasks, total pay and bill amounts, as well as idle time.

You can also set up scheduled reports. These allow you to send specific data directly to the email inboxes of your choosing on the day and time of your choosing. You can even send time data to email addresses that are not members of your organization (like clients or board members).

If you’re looking for an easy-to-use report to review the time data collected by Hubstaff, the Time and Activity report is for you.
