# Job settings: time tracking

Here you can set whether a job should generally be enabled for time tracking.

By default every (active) job is available in time tracking.\
However, it may make sense to deactivate a job in time tracking.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Application scenarios**\
Within a campaign customer account a job was created for media that should only be used for external services of your publishing partners, no time should be tracked here.\
\
You want to pause a job but not mark it as dormant or closed, because external services still need to be recorded and the job should continue to appear in all statistics.
{% endhint %}

## Enable time tracking on estimate items

Time tracking on estimate items can be enabled system-wide under Settings > Time Tracking:

![](/files/3ef275c85a84cb6309ebc183c26f4313d5f3f90d)

Afterwards you can define on which estimate items time may be recorded.

## Time tracking on a job's estimate items

To break down within a job in more detail in what context services were incurred, time can also be recorded on certain estimate items.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Use case**\
In the estimate of our job there are two item groups "Conception" and "Realization" with different items. We can ask our team to book the times within our job on these selected items.
{% endhint %}

### Enable estimate items for time tracking

There are two ways to enable items for time tracking. 

In the "Settings" tab under "Time Tracking" we can enable or disable certain items in an overview

![](/files/2b573572370155a40825f1e1111234139cb704f4)

We can decide directly when creating an agency service item whether this item or item group should be enabled for time tracking.

![](/files/e469bc000b9fbe080ebbba3d217fe1c944d023f3)

If I then select a job in time tracking where items have been enabled for time tracking, I am presented with the following dialog:

![](/files/b7bc2a20eaf5ad3656923ba93ca00c8e81a6dfbb)

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZf6md5h9eo>" %}

The user recording the time can decide at this point whether their service falls under one of the suggested items or (at the very bottom) more generally under the job.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/projektverwaltung-1/projekte/projekteinstellungen/projekteinstellungen-zeiterfassung.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.
