I always want to enter my time as the type of duration instead of in/out by default.
How can I change the default setting?
Thank you.
Hello there,
You can track your hours with the Time Clock. Also, you can clock your team members in or out with Who’s Working. If you want to enter time as duration instead of in/out, manually enter time instead of clocking in and out.
To display your hours and minutes in HH: MM format, at the bottom of Manual Time Card, select Options > Display time in HH: MM. Remember that your account administrator must grant the Manage My timesheets permission for you to enter time without clocking in. Unless you have permission to manage your own time, you can only manually record time for the people you manage.
1. In QuickBooks Workforce, go to Track Time and pick Menu.
2. Select Add timesheet.
3. Your name automatically populates in the Worker field. If you’re entering time for someone else, choose Worker, then select the desired team member.
4. Enter any remaining info needed for the timesheet, such as the job, customer, or notes.
5. Click Add.

Thank you, but I don't have this part to start:
1. In QuickBooks Workforce, go to Track Time and pick Menu.
2. Select Add timesheet.
I have permission to track my own time.
Thank you.
I appreciate you for performing the steps above, StanfordG. I understand the importance of tracking time in QuickBooks Time.
I have another method for recording time that will show hours and minutes in the format HH: MM, without the need to clock in and out. We can utilize a Manual Time Card to enter the total hours worked for each day.

I wonder if we're not looking at the same thing. What I want is to set the default type to duration when I enter my time. I don't really care about how it shows up later.
This site won't let me attachments now as it seems to think I'm no longer signed in even though I am. So, here's the screenshot with the highlighted area that I want to set the default option in: https://share.cleanshot.com/PMp8fQ8J
Thanks!
Thanks for getting back to us with your additional screenshot, @StanfordG.
You're already on the right path. However, setting the Duration as the default type is not available in QuickBooks Workforce (formerly known as QuickBooks Time). Instead, you'll want to manually set it every time you enter time.
I would also suggest submitting a feature request directly to our Product Development team. This allows you to actively contribute to the development of the product and ensures that your needs as a user are acknowledged and taken into consideration.
