Day View in My Time

Log and manage your time entries day by day in My Time. Add entries manually, use tracking suggestions, and connect your Google or Outlook calendar to see events alongside your work.

The Day view in My Time lets you log and manage time entries for a specific day. Use the arrows or date picker to navigate between days, and click the dot in the middle to return to today. The selected day is highlighted with a violet stripe.

To access it, go to Time > My Time and select Day from the view options in the top right.

Adding a Time Entry

Open the service dropdown on the left and select the client, project, budget or deal, and service.

Enter the duration: as a total (e.g. 5 hours), a time range (e.g. 9:00–14:00), or both.

Add a note describing what you worked on and click Save.

The entry appears on the right.


📌 Time in Productive is always tracked against a budget or deal and a service. Make sure you select the right one before saving.

Time Tracking Suggestions

The suggestions panel on the left shows options based on:

  • Pinned — services you've manually pinned for quick access.

  • Scheduled — services you're scheduled on in the Resource Planner.

  • Recent — services you've recently tracked time against.

  • Calendar — events from your connected Google or Outlook calendar.

Clicking a suggestion creates an editable time entry with the budget or deal and service pre-filled. Calendar events require you to assign a service before saving.

📌 If a service is already pinned, it won't appear in Scheduled or Recent to avoid duplication. Calendar events appear in a separate section and are not affected by pinning rules.

📌 Time tracking suggestions are also available in the Timesheet and Calendar views in My Time, and in the desktop time tracking widget.

Pinning a service: hover over any service name and click the pin icon to move it to your Pinned section.

Managing Time Entries

Select the three-dot menu to the right of any time entry to edit, duplicate, pin the service, view timer logs, or delete it. You can also edit details directly by typing in any available field.

To link a time entry to a specific task, click Assign to task.
