While tracking time, users can add work notes, which lets them provide more details about the tasks or projects they working on. They can add details such as client numbers, codes, incident numbers, request IDs, ticket numbers, and any supplementary information about the task.
Work notes can be extracted via the Reports, Activity, and Timesheets sections to help owners and managers collect the recorded note data.
These can be added on time tracker, or add them manually via different sections of the web dashboard.
