Hi all,
Wondering if possible to assign two or more projects to a single time entry.
I am working for a client on 3 separate projects.
It is easy to do my time entries when my time is spent on Project A, B or C separately, but sometimes I spend time on meetings that encompass all (A, B and C). What would be best way to track that?
I think I can only assign one project per time entry currently, right?
You’re correct that Toggl Track allows assigning only one project per time entry. However, there are a few good workarounds depending on how you need to report on your time:
1. Use Tags for Additional Projects
Since projects are limited to one per entry, you can tag the time entry with the other projects involved. For example, log the time under Project A and then tag it with Project B and Project C. This way, you can still filter reports by tags to see which projects were included or use Analytics to group data if you are a bit more advanced in Track reporting.
2. Split the Time Entry
If you need precise reporting at the project level, you can manually divide your meeting time between the three projects (e.g., logging 20 minutes under each). This ensures that reports accurately reflect the time spent per project, though it does require extra manual input.
3. Create a “Shared” or “General” Project
If meetings like these happen often, you could create a “Multi-Project Work” or “Overhead” project to track time that applies to multiple projects. Later, if needed, you can manually allocate the time in reports.
4. Use Descriptive Notes
You can simply log the time under one project and mention the others in the description (e.g., “Client meeting covering Project A, B, and C”). This keeps your workflow simple while still capturing the necessary context.
If you need detailed project-level insights, method #2 (splitting time) is the most accurate. If efficiency is the priority, method #1 (using tags) is the easiest. Let me know what works best for you!
