Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Tracknesty’s dual views, live tickers, breakdown modals, and payroll exports.
What views are available in Tracknesty employee timesheet software?
Tracknesty provides two primary view modes: (1) Detailed List View, showing clock-in/out timestamps, total worked hours, active vs. idle/break time, overtime, and live status; and (2) Weekly Matrix Grid, displaying a Monday-to-Sunday breakdown of hours logged by day with weekly sums and overtime indicators.
How does the real-time live ticker work for active employees?
When viewing today’s timesheet, Tracknesty features a live real-time ticker that automatically updates worked seconds, active duration, and overtime/deficit calculations for all team members currently in WORKING status without needing to refresh the page.
What is the difference between "My Timesheet" and "Company Timesheet" views?
Normal team members and employees are automatically scoped to "My Timesheet" to inspect their personal hours, breaks, and project logs. Workspace Admins and Managers have a quick toggle switch to view the entire Company Timesheet matrix or filter down to any individual employee.
Can I see which specific projects and tasks hours were spent on?
Yes! Clicking any employee row opens the detailed Breakdown & Timeline modal. It features visual project time distribution bars, task contribution lists, and an interactive daily timeline showing exact work blocks versus break periods.
How does Tracknesty calculate Overtime and Deficit hours?
Tracknesty compares total logged work hours against each employee’s configured daily work schedule and company holidays. If an employee works past their scheduled shift, overtime hours are automatically logged in purple. If they work fewer hours, a deficit badge highlights the missing time.
Can timesheets be exported for payroll and client billing?
Yes! With one click, managers can export verified timesheets into structured PDF reports (formatted for executive sign-off) or comprehensive CSV spreadsheets ready for direct import into payroll and accounting software.
