Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:44:00 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5585 Starting and ending time of a task Our company would like to replace our current groupware system (eGroupware) with Horde. However, the time tracking module is one of the crucial modules for us and we are currently missing a feature in Hermes that is critical for us - we need not only to log number of hours spent on a task but also the starting and ending time of the task. Typically, we open the timesheet when coming to job in the morning and filling an entry after finishing each task. I believe adding this feature should be a relatively simple task and could bring a great benefit to several users. Please consider this request.

Maybe this is what you are looking for. Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:32:30 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5585#t35457 Jan, thank you for a prompt reaction. Taking the tasks from another module does not satisfy our needs. We want to track our everyday work which includes a lot of tasks that have not been planned and therefore could not be in nag. Of course, some linking to task lists would be nice but it is more than we really need. Actually what hermes offers is fine with the only exception that there is no start time and end time field available.

Or do you only want to be able to enter start and end times of a time slice and get the hours calculated automatically?

No. Fri, 27 Jul 2007 13:57:34 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5585#t35486 Would it be sufficient to add the start and end time in the time entry description? Or do they have to be added as separate fields that can be searched and sorted?

Hi, they should be added as separate fields so that the items can be sorted by date and then by time within the same day. The fields should be also interconnected with the Hours field so that end time - start time = hours. Also, it would be convenient to have a function that, after submitting an entry, creates a new one that has start time set to the end time value of the submitted entry.
