ZipBooks time tracking is convenient and helps you make sure you’re paid for the hours you spend. But sometimes, you may forget to turn the tracker on or off, resulting in too little, or too much time tracked. ZipBooks makes it easy to manually adjust time entries, or add new ones.

How to add a manual time entry:

  1. Log in to ZipBooks and click on Tracking in the menu on the left.

  2. To add a new entry, click the round green + button at the top right of your time entries list. A New Time Entry screen will appear. 

  3. Select a User from the drop down menu.

  4. Enter the number of hours worked or click “Set specific times” to identify a start and end time.

  5. Enter the Date the work was done.

  6. If desired, select a Project or Contact to apply the entry to and add any Notes.

  7. If these hours have been Billed or Paid, check the relevant boxes.

  8. Click the blue Save button.

Your new time entry will now appear in your list of tracked time.

How to adjust an existing entry:

  1. Find the entry you want to adjust and click on it. The Edit Time Entry Window will appear. 

  2. Adjust the time in the Hours box, and any other details, as needed.  

  3. Click the blue Save button.

That’s it! Your changes will appear in the entry on your list.
