Daily timesheet: one member's work day on a timeline
Staffic's daily timesheet lays out one member's tracked sessions for a single day, each with its project, task, start time, end time and total. Managers use it to check a day or find the sessions behind a weekly number, and members use it to check their own. It's on every plan, including Free.

In short
What is Staffic Daily Timesheet?
Staffic Daily Timesheet is the day view of the time your team tracks in the desktop app. It shows one member's sessions on an hour-by-hour timeline, with the project, task, start time, end time and total of each, and Total hours for the day. It also splits the day into Active time and Neutral time, opens earlier dates and takes manual time with a reason, on every plan.
How it works
From the timer to a checked work day
Nobody types hours into a daily timesheet. The desktop app records sessions, and the timesheet lays them out.
- 01Track in the desktop appA member starts the timer on a project and task. Each session keeps its start time, end time and activity.
- 02Open the dayTimesheets > Daily shows today's sessions for the chosen member, with Total hours above the timeline.
- 03Look closerHover a session to open that day's screenshots or delete part of it with a reason. Active time and Neutral time split the total.
- 04Fill the gapsAdd missed work as manual time with a reason. It lands on the timeline and in the day's total.
Daily timesheet
Read one work day, session by session
Pick a member and a day. The timesheet places every tracked session where it happened, counted in your organization's time zone or the member's own.
Each session sits on an hour-by-hour timeline with its project, task, start time, end time and total.
- Project and task on every session
- Start time, end time and total per session
- Total hours for the day on every plan
The Manual time button adds a block of time to the day: member, project, task, time range, activity level and a reason. Admins can add it whatever the setting, and members can when an admin allows it.
- Up to 24 hours per entry
- Not in the future and not over tracked time
- A reason on every entry
A session's delete dialog splits it into 10-minute slots, each with its idle time. Tick the slots to remove and write a reason. Members delete only their own sessions and admins anyone's, on every plan.
- 10-minute slots with idle time
- Remove part of a session or all of it
- Reason required on every plan
The date calendar opens any past day and the arrows step through days one at a time. Days after today stay greyed out.
- Any past day on every plan
- Days after today greyed out
- Organization's or member's time zone
Members add a note to a session from the desktop app or from the Screenshots page, and Timesheets > Work notes lists every note with its session. The camera button on a session opens that member's screenshots for the day.
- Notes from the desktop app or Screenshots
- Each note tied to its session's time
- Screenshots one click away on every plan

Set it up
How to set up the daily timesheet
The daily timesheet fills on its own once members track time. These steps decide who adds time and who sees it.
Each member installs Staffic, signs in and starts the timer on a project and task.
Download StafficPick a member, narrow it to a project or task if you need to, and choose the time zone the day is counted in.
Timesheets › DailyOn the Manual time tab, switch on Members can add manual time. Admins can add it either way.
Settings › Timesheets & approvalGive a role the Timesheets module, then assign the role on Member details, so its members see other people's days.

Three ways time lands on a day
Most of a day comes from the timer. Manual time and deletions fix the rest, and both leave a reason behind.
Swipe the table to compare
| Compare | Tracked session | Manual time | Deleted time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comes from | The desktop app timer | The Manual Time form | Slots picked in the delete dialog |
| Plans | Every plan | Every plan | Every plan |
| Who | The member tracking | Admins, and members when allowed | Members their own, admins anyone's |
| Reason | Not needed | Required | Required |
| Activity level | From keyboard and mouse input | Set in the form, 0 to 100% | Leaves with the slots |
| On the day | A session on the timeline | A session on the timeline | Time taken off a session |
Nobody can edit a tracked session's start or end time: changes add time or remove it. The Manual Time report lists both with their reasons.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers about the daily timesheet in Staffic.
Read the Daily Timesheet guideWhat does Staffic's daily timesheet show?
It shows one member's tracked sessions for a single day on an hour-by-hour timeline. Each session lists its project, task, start time, end time and total, and a card above the timeline adds up Total hours. Two more cards split the day into Active time and Neutral time.
Can I look at a past day on the daily timesheet?
Yes, on every plan. The date calendar opens any earlier day, and the arrows move one day at a time; days after today are greyed out.
How do I add time someone forgot to track?
Use the Manual time button on the daily timesheet, on every plan. Choose the member, project, task, date and time range, set an activity level and write a reason. An entry can be up to 24 hours long, can't be in the future and can't overlap time already tracked.
Can members delete a session from their daily timesheet?
Yes, their own, with a reason. The delete dialog splits the session into 10-minute slots with their idle time, so a member can remove part of a session instead of all of it. Admins can delete any member's time, and this works on every plan.
What is neutral time on the daily timesheet?
Neutral time is idle time inside tracked sessions: stretches of 50 seconds or more without keyboard or mouse input. It stays in the day's Total hours and gets its own card next to Active time, so you see how much of the tracked day had input.
Where do work notes from a day show up?
On the Work Notes page, under Timesheets. Notes added in the desktop app or on the Screenshots page are listed there with the member, project, task and the session's time range. The daily timesheet itself shows the sessions, not the notes.
Can I see the screenshots behind a day's sessions?
Yes, on every plan. Hover a session on the daily timesheet and click the camera button: the Screenshots page opens on that member and day, with each capture and its activity level. Screenshots are kept for 365 days.
How much does it cost to use Daily Timesheet?
Every plan includes Daily Timesheet. Free covers up to 2 members. Standard is $7.50 per user per month billed yearly ($3.80 during the current offer, until October 30, 2026) or $9.50 billed monthly, and Elite is $10.00 per user per month billed yearly ($4.80 during the current offer, until October 30, 2026) or $13.00 billed monthly.
