Productive allows you to quickly duplicate time entries from the previous day, making it easier to manage repetitive tasks and ensure your time tracking stays accurate.
This feature saves time by replicating your logged hours without the need for manual re-entry, following specific rules to ensure relevance and accuracy.
Steps to Duplicate Time Entries
1) Accessing the Duplicate Option
If you've logged at least one time entry for yesterday, you'll see an option to duplicate those entries today.
This feature is only available in the Day view and will be visible if certain conditions are met.
2) Rules for Duplicating Time Entries
Day-Specific Visibility
The option to duplicate time entries is only available for the current day and is visible in the Day view.
Previous Entries Required
At least one time entry must have been logged the day before for the option to appear.
Exclusion of Weekends and Holidays
The feature does not account for weekends and holidays, meaning if it's Monday and you logged time on Friday (with Saturday and Sunday being the weekend), the Duplicate Time Entries from Yesterday option will not be available.
Auto-tracking Restrictions
If automatic time tracking is turned on, the duplication option will not be available. Additionally, auto-tracked time entries are not duplicated.
Recurring Budgets
If there is a subsequent recurring budget for the day, the time entry will be duplicated for the corresponding budget.
The system recognizes the active budget for that specific day and duplicates the time entry accordingly. The old budget will not receive the duplicated time entry; only the budget that is active and relevant for the current day will be used.Valid Budget Requirement
If no active budget exists for today, the option will not appear. Entries without a valid budget for the current day won't be duplicated.
