You can type a timesheet duration as hours and minutes or as decimal hours, in the Week view grid and in the timesheet entry popups. Avaza reads either and shows the result in your account's display format.
Hours and minutes
Put a colon between the hours and the minutes.
You type | Avaza records |
|---|---|
2:50 | 2 hours 50 minutes |
10:5 | 10 hours 5 minutes |
:35 | 35 minutes |
2: | 2 hours |
The number after the colon is always minutes, so 10:5 is 5 minutes past 10 hours, not half an hour.
Decimal hours
You type | Avaza records |
|---|---|
3.5 | 3 hours 30 minutes |
4.75 | 4 hours 45 minutes |
.5 | 30 minutes |
7 | 7 hours |
The decimal separator follows your browser's language. If your browser uses a language with a decimal comma, such as German or French, type 3,5.
What Avaza won't accept
- Letters, such as 1h30m or 90 min. Avaza clears the box. In the New timesheet entry popup, an empty duration starts a timer when you click the button.
- More than 24 hours in one entry. Week view won't save it, and the entry popups change it to 23:59.
- 0 in a new entry. In the New timesheet entry popup, 0 starts a timer. See entries with zero hours.
Start and end times
If your account records start and end times, type them as 2pm, 2p, 8:30am or 23:30. Fill in two of start, end and duration, and Avaza works out the third. See start and end times.
Change how durations are shown
Durations show either as hours and minutes (2:30) or as decimal hours (2.50), for everyone in the account. Administrators, Finance Managers and Portfolio Managers choose which under Timesheet Display Format in Settings › Timesheet Settings. Whichever is chosen, you can type both formats. See timesheet settings.
