Recording notes in ZeroTime™
In ZeroTimeTM, you can make ad hoc notes about the work you performed, to help you remember what work you completed, and how long you spent on it.
Then, you’ll be able to choose whether to accept and add data from notes to your timesheet.
We recommend recording notes throughout your workday, so the details are fresh in your mind and accurate.
ZeroTime saves notes from up to 90 days in the past.

FAQs
Do I have to include a duration in a note or chatbot entry?
No, you can use a note just to record details of something you did, without giving the duration worked, then add a duration once the note is added to your timesheet.
Are notes I create automatically transferred to my timesheet if I'm using Auto Populate?
Yes, they are, but only if you've accepted them.
