Work Notes in Hubstaff
It is possible to add notes to timesheets when tracking time with Hubstaff. Workers can create a note from the time tracker itself, or manually via various sections of the web app.
Notes can be used to indicate what tasks were being completed during a shift, or for any other custom purpose unique to your organization.

Adding Notes in Your Activity Page

Navigate to the Activity > Screenshots section. Click the pencil icon at the bottom of the segment of time you wish to add the work note for.

Notes can only be added by the users themselves, so this feature is not intended to be used as a discussion dialogue between managers and their team.
This feature gives workers the option to add a description to their screenshot, and give more detail surrounding each 10-minute segment of time.
A user can add multiple notes for each segment of time, Hubstaff does not limit the amount of notes that can be added.
After a note has been added, clicking on the pencil icon will display a dialogue box, containing the note. Users can edit their notes from this screen if need be.
At the top of the Activities screen, you will also see a button labelled All notes.
When this button is clicked, it will launch a pop up screen that contains all notes for the selected user for the nominated day.
