How to restrict employees from entering time for a task

In Abtrac you can restrict employees from entering time against specific tasks. Or more accurately – you can enable tasks for a project to be available only for certain users.

How to choose who can enter time for a task in Abtrac

From the Job Details > click on the Tasks tab to go into Job Tasks page.

For each task, you can click on the employee button indicated to select or restrict employees who can assign time for this task: The Unrestricted Employees box appears.

Select the employees who are allowed to assign time for this task and click save.

The selected employees can assign time for this specific task in their timesheets.

All other employees except the selected ones are restricted from entering time for this task.

When task timesheet restrictions don’t apply

Employees with admin rights in Abtrac will always be able to enter time against a task.

Only tasks with at least one person assigned will follow the rules of restriction.

All other tasks (that have never been assigned with any employee) will be considered as ‘open tasks’ and are available for everyone to assign their time.
