Time Tracking

Team members record their time in NateoTime using the app or the browser.

At the start of work, you click “Activate”, and at the end you click “Deactivate.”

You activate activities. Once activated, time starts running for those activities.

The most important activity is “Work.” When you activate any other activity, “Work” is automatically activated as well.

When you deactivate “Work,” all other activities are automatically deactivated, too.

 

 
 

Example

  • Alice activates “Work” at 8:00 a.m., marking the start of her workday.
  • At 8:30 a.m., she activates the activity “Machine Maintenance.”
  • At 11:20 a.m., she deactivates “Machine Maintenance,” documenting 2 hours and 50 minutes spent on it.
  • At 4:30 p.m., she deactivates “Work,” documenting 8 hours of work time (with breaks possibly deducted).

 

 
 

Late Entries, Missed Punches and Corrections

Sometimes, time entries need to be added or corrected (e.g., when something was forgotten).

  • Select “Late Entry and Corrections” from the main menu.
  • In the calendar view that opens, choose the day you want to correct or add an entry for.
  • This takes you to the detailed day view, which shows all existing entries.
  • From here, you have two options:
    a) Correct an existing entry.
    b) Add a new entry: select the activity (or activities), the time, and the type (start or end).

Important: Start and end times must be entered separately. However, you can apply them to multiple activities at once.

Note: When entering the end of “Work”, you can also define the type of breaks for that day. Just like in regular clocking, automatic statutory breaks and fixed breaks can be combined freely.

Why is this important? Because, just like with normal clocking, it must always be clear how breaks are handled. And for people who are used to only clocking work start and work end, late entries should also be possible with just those two timestamps.

 

 
 

Time Credits

Let’s say a team member tells you:
"While on vacation, I spent at least 4 hours on client calls but, of course, didn’t log any time."

How do you handle this?

It’s simple: Enter a time credit on any day within the vacation period:

  1. Go to Main Menu → Team Members → Manage → Time Overview.
  2. In the calendar view, click the day you want to add the time credit to.
  3. The detailed day view opens. Click New and select Time Credit.
  4. Choose the activities, then enter a time and a duration. (Typically the time does not matter much. In that case just enter 4:00 PM, e.g.)
