# Time Tracker

## Time Tracker Overview

To see all tracked time, click on **Time Tracker**. You'll see the **time,** the **title** of the task tracked, the **project** the time was tracked for, the **date** when the time was tracked, the amount **earned** (if you set an hourly rate for the project) as well as the **status** of the tracked time. If the time wasn't paid, the status will be "unbilled". Once the time was added to an invoice and the invoice was paid, the status will change to "billed". 

There are several ways to filter your tracked time by using the filters above the list. You can choose a *start* and *end date* or choose to see tracked time belonging to a specific *project.* 

You can also export your tracked time to a CSV file. Click "Export" and decide on a **start** and **end date.** If you'd like to only export time for a certain project, choose the **project** from the drop-down. Click "download" and a download of the CSV file will start.

## How to Track Time

On Kosmo, there are several places to start tracking your time. You can start the time tracker from the **top menu,** the **dashboard,** a **task,** from within a **project,** and of course from the menu item **Time Tracker.** Click on "Start Tracker". You'll be asked to choose a project and a task. Both are optional fields. Please note that in order to add a tracked session to an invoice, you'll have to choose a project. If you don't want to choose a task you can still give your work session a **title.** By default, the session is called "untitled work session".  Click "Start" and you'll see the tracker counting. If you go to a different page on Kosmo, you can still keep an eye on the tracked time by checking the timer on the top menu.

Once you're done, click the stop button ![](https://442784952-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8Wz1psyFYFlr2IanSQzC%2Fuploads%2F4QhIcCpx0wugVXxQYYOJ%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-05-10%20at%203.37.30%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=75b9fd05-efe9-4d48-8a57-6cc6e9d999cb). You'll receive a little notification letting you know that your time was saved and is available to view on the **Time Tracker** page.

## How to Edit Tracked Time

Mistakes happen. If you accidentally added a timed work session to the wrong project or chose the wrong task, you can edit a session. Choose a tracked session, click on the three dots and click "edit". You'll see a pop-up, where you change the **project** and **task.** You can change the **date** and also edit the **duration** in case you forgot to start the timer.

Once a timed session was billed, you can't edit the session anymore.
{% endhint %}

## How to Add Hours Manually

Sometimes during work, you might forget to start the time tracker. If you'd like to add time manually, click the "Add Hours" button. Here you can choose the **project** and **task**. If this timed session is not an already created task, you can still give the session a title. By default, it's called "untitled work session".  Next, choose a **date** and enter the **duration**. Click save to add a new tracked work session.
