  • Setting up for basic time tracking - No matter why you're tracking time, there are some basic things you should set up, such as workload and holiday schemes to define the working capacity of employees, and Internal issues to define non-project time spent on events such as vacations or company meetings.

  • Setting up for Tempo Teams - Working with Tempo Timesheets often means using Tempo teams. Find out how to create and set them up for your whole organization, or give permissions for others to create their own teams.
