Reports and exports

The Reports page answers where the time went, for any period you pick, using the same period and filter controls as the Entries page. Every number on it is built from completed work - a running timer is never included anywhere.

• Table - the report as rows, on screen, uncapped, and exactly what an export of the same settings would produce.
• Charts - hours per project over time, a project share donut, per-tag totals, break share, an average-hours-per-weekday profile, and when your working day tends to begin and end.
• Schedule - expected against actual for the period, with absence and public holidays already taken into account, and a pace marker showing where today should have put you.
• Budgets - live consumption against each budgeted project, measured in that project's own current week or month rather than the period you are browsing.

The Export Center turns any of this into a file. Choose the format - CSV or PDF - then the grouping: flat, by day, week or month, by client, project or tag, or a matrix of days against projects. Client, project and tag groupings can nest a time grouping inside them.

Then choose how much detail each group carries: just the totals, a day summary with first start, last end, breaks and net hours, or every individual entry as its own row. Columns are switches - times, project, client, description, notes, tags, breaks, weekday prefixes, empty days, per-day and per-week subtotals, and a summary block at the end. Any switch that does not apply to your current grouping greys out and says why. A live preview matches the file exactly.

A PDF can also carry a header identifying who the document is from and who it is for, drawn from your profile and companies. Save any configuration as a named preset and it follows you across devices, reusable from both the Reports page and the Entries page.

An export always covers the whole period you picked, not just the rows on screen. Breaks are never counted into work totals, and an entry with several tags counts once per tag - so tag rows can legitimately add up to more than the overall total.
