Breakdown of where my time actually goes inside a project

For example, within “Project 1” I suspect I’ve spent around 35 hours on animation and 10 hours on revisions. All tasks within that project are labeled correctly. But I want to know for sure. I want to track each task separately and see exactly how long every part of a project took, rather than just the total lumped time of a project. I can see the breakdown on my project page but it doesn’t “cluster” tasks even if they all have the same name (i.e. “Revising” and “Animation”).

That way I can finally tell which parts are actually eating up my time.

You can get a detailed breakdown of time spent on different tasks within a project using Toggl’s reporting features. When you view your reports, you can group and filter by tasks to see exactly how much time you’ve spent on each one.

If you want to see aggregated totals for tasks with the same name across different time entries, you can use the reporting tools to group by task, which will cluster all entries with the same task name together and show you the combined time.

You can also add tags to your time entries in addition to tasks if that helps with your organization. Then in reports, you can group by tags to see how time is distributed across different categories like “Animation” or “Revisions” across your project.

The Timeline feature is another useful tool that lets you visualize where your time has gone, which can help you identify which parts of a project are taking up the most time.

Thanks for the reply. Forgive me for not understanding, but this is my exact query:

If you want to see aggregated totals for tasks with the same name across different time entries, you can use the reporting tools to group by task, which will cluster all entries with the same task name together and show you the combined time.*

I cannot seem to find this, or is this only for the paid version?

Tasks are a paid feature in Toggl Track. If you would like to group by time entry description, please navigate to Summary Report, scroll down to the bottom chart and select ‘Breakdown by Description’.
