Time tracking templates


What are Time Tracking Templates 

Time Tracking Templates in Vault Synapse are predefined structures that help standardize how time tracking tasks are organized and recorded across your organization. They provide a framework for grouping related tasks, defining effort estimates, and categorizing work. 

These templates are especially useful for ensuring consistency across multiple projects or departments, making it easier to report, analyze, and bill time accurately.  

Each Time Tracking Template can include: 

  • Template Name – A clear and descriptive title for the template, representing its purpose. 
  • Task Lists – A collection of tasks that fall under the template, each with its own effort estimate, billing status, and visibility settings. 
  • Categories and Types – Classifications to help organize and filter tasks, such as Administration, Support, or Development. 
  • Billable Status – An indicator of whether the time recorded for these tasks will be billed to a client or considered internal. 
In the Time Tracking Templates tab, you can view a list of all templates along with their Name, Last Activity, and Last Change details. A search function is available to help you quickly locate a template. For more information follow the link how to use the search feature
