# Time tracking on tasks (formerly cases)

In a larger job it can make sense not only to record time generally on the job, but to create tasks that represent subsections, milestones, or concrete tasks within that job.

This way you can not only evaluate how much working time was incurred for the entire job, but also on which sections of the job. That results in a much more transparent picture.

In the settings the option to enable this can generally be provided.

This causes a checkbox to appear on each task "Make this task available for time tracking". That means you can also enable time tracking for only specific tasks.

How to do that can be found here:

## Troubleshooting: I cannot record time on estimate items

* Is time tracking generally enabled in the job under the Settings tab?
* Is the estimate item enabled for time tracking?
* Am I authorized to see the job and the customer account (In the job and customer account under the Settings and Access Rights tabs)?
* Is the estimate status included in the list under Settings > Finance > Estimate that is allowed for time tracking?
* Am I generally authorized to use job time tracking?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dieagenturverwaltung.de/die-agenturverwaltung-en/einstellungen-1/zeiterfassung/zeiterfassung-an-vorgaengen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
