Track Time Against Your monday.com Items

Log work hours, view worklogs in table or stack format, filter by date, and export to CSV.

Overview

The Time Tracking module lets you log work hours against any monday.com item. Each entry is called a worklog — it records the item, the date, the number of hours, and an optional description.

Worklogs are stored inside the plugin, not in monday.com's native time column. This means you get dedicated date-range filters, two view modes (table and stack), CSV export, and full integration with the Timesheets and Reports modules.

Separate from monday.com native tracking Because worklogs live in the plugin's own database, you can use approval workflows, advanced filtering, and CSV export — features not available with monday.com's built-in time column.

Logging a Worklog

Click the + Worklog button in the toolbar to open the worklog form. Fill in the fields below and click Save.

Field Details
Item Search and select a monday.com item. Type at least two characters to search across all boards. Recently used items appear by default.
Date The day the work was done. Defaults to today.
Hours Number of hours worked. Supports decimals (for example, 1.5 for 90 minutes). Must be between 0.25 and 24.
Description Optional text describing what was done. Useful for timesheet reviews and audits.

1. Click "+ Worklog"

Open the form from the toolbar at the top of the Time Tracking view.

2. Pick an item

Type in the Item field to search. Select the item you worked on from the dropdown.

3. Set date and hours

Choose the date and enter how many hours you spent. Use decimals for partial hours.

4. Add a description (optional)

Describe what you accomplished. This text shows up in the table view and in exports.

5. Save

Click Save. The new worklog appears immediately in whichever view is active.

Example You worked on a design task for 4 hours. Open the form, search for the task, enter 4 in the Hours field, add "Completed wireframes and colour palette", and click Save.

Admin: logging work on behalf of a user

App Admins can log work for any team member directly from the Resource Scheduler. Click on a task assigned to another user and select Log Work. The dialog will show a note confirming which user the worklog is being created for, and the hours will be recorded under that user's name.

Admin worklogs

Worklogs created by an admin on behalf of a user are displayed under the target user. When the creator differs from the assignee, a subtle "Created by: [name]" label is shown on the worklog card, popup entry, and item view. This helps team leads quickly identify delegated entries while keeping the UI clean for self-logged worklogs. The label appears in the Stack view, the Matrix cell popup, and the Item View.

Table View

Table View is the default layout. It lists every worklog in rows with sortable columns.

Column What it shows
Item Name The monday.com item the work was logged against. Click it to open the item.
Board The board the item belongs to.
User The person who did the work (avatar and name).
Date The day the work was performed.
Hours Total hours logged. Click the cell to expand and see individual entries when several worklogs share the same item and date.
Description Free-text description of the work.

Click any column header to sort ascending or descending. Combine sorting with a date-range filter to zero in on the worklogs you need.

Stack View

Stack View arranges worklogs in a kanban-style layout grouped by day. Each column is one date and each card inside it is a single worklog.

When to use Stack View Stack View works well during daily stand-ups and retrospectives. You can see at a glance what each person worked on each day and quickly find gaps in time logging.

Date Range Filters

Use the date-range selector in the toolbar to control which worklogs appear. Both Table View and Stack View respect the active filter.

Predefined ranges

Custom range

Choose Custom to pick any start and end date with the calendar picker. This is useful for billing cycles, sprints, or any period that does not match the presets.

Filter persistence Your selected range stays active while you switch between Table and Stack views. When you reopen the module the filter resets to "This Week".

Editing and Deleting Worklogs

You can change or remove any worklog as long as it is not part of a submitted or approved timesheet.

Editing

  1. Click a worklog row in Table View to open the edit dialog.
  2. Change any field — hours, date, description, or item.
  3. Click Save.

Deleting

  1. Click the trash icon () on the row.
  2. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears.
  3. The worklog is permanently removed.
Locked worklogs Worklogs that belong to a submitted or approved timesheet cannot be edited or deleted. The row shows a lock icon and the controls are disabled. To make changes, ask your approver to reject or reopen the timesheet first. See Timesheets for details.

CSV Export

Click the Export button () in the toolbar to download your worklogs as a CSV file. The export includes every worklog that matches the current date-range filter.

Columns in the CSV

Item View Time Tracking

You can add a Time Tracking tab directly to any monday.com item. This lets team members view worklogs, see remaining estimates, and log time without leaving the item — on both desktop and mobile.

How to add the Time Tracking tab

1

Open any item in monday.com and click the + button in the item's tab bar to add a new view. In the Item Views menu, click Explore more views at the bottom.

In the Item Views Center, go to Installed Apps and find Time Tracking by WorkHub. Click Add to item.

Once added, the Time Tracking tab appears on the item. It shows the same view on both desktop and mobile:

Tip The Time Tracking tab is added per item type. Once you add it to one item on a board, it will be available on all items of the same type on that board. You only need to set it up once.
Works on mobile too

The same Time Tracking tab works in the monday.com mobile app. Team members can view estimates, log hours, and see their entries directly from their phone. See Mobile Time Tracking below for details.

Mobile Time Tracking

WorkHub offers a mobile item view for time tracking, so your team can log hours on the go — on-site, on the road, or between meetings.
