Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear about how you all use the platform to log time against items if more than one person is working on an item.
I have a task board where I may have to log time against an item / subitem. I may not be working alone so I could be working on this with multiple people.
Can someone please tell me a way they are doing this that works for them?
Thank you so much.
Hi Shauna,
Multiple people can log time at the same moment on a task.
You can see who spent what amount of time by clicking on the column.
Does this answer your question or am I missing something?
Hi @patrick7 sorry I missed an important factor. This won’t work if I want to log the same time. So 11am - 12pm for example.
You can’t if it is simultaneous.
@shaunafitzgoo that’s indeed not possible.
Lately I’ve been playing around with time tracking apps that have been built for Monday. I recommend 7pace timetracker and Tracket.
You should try their free trial. It works very well!
These are the known issues with monday’s time tracking.
I would suggest looking into a Timesheets board ( separate item to record time for each user for each task and connected to said task), the apps on the monday marketplace ( like Tracket) or other external time tracking tools that integrate with monday either natively ( like Everhhour ) or with Make ( Toggl).
Personally, we use Toggl via a Make integration and it works excellently.
Let me know if you require any professional assistance.

I need this feature on the mobile.
It depends how you use reporting. You can use subitems, so a single task is subdivided if multiple people are working on it. Subitems aren’t perfect though as they don’t fully integrate with reporting widgets. This is getting better over time though.
We use a single item with no time tracking and encourage people to enter time manually as we’re not tracking a persons time, we’re tracking time worked on an item for comparing to estimates. We also use Power BI to generate reports so we can easily extract data from the time tracking column; Monday dashboard widgets are pretty weak for anything complex.
We have just started using a new app Smart Timer and Team tracking. It allows multiple users to simultaneously record time directly on an item.
Multiple users can now simultaneously record time directly on an item using Smart Timer and Team Tracking app which has the same look and feel as the native monday.com timer.
We had the same pain point with our service based business, we didnt want them to have to log time as a subtask and we needed staff to work together on items at the same time, so we got our dev to build a solution which we have now released to the monday.com marketplace.
We also built in the ability for the team to see LIVE who is recording time on what, this helps us to manage our remote team and re-delegate work as needed.
We have only recently launched so if there are any tweaks that would help it better suit your business feel free to add to the live chat and we will see if we can roll it out in the next update.
