Layout of the interface
On the left is the sidebar with three sections:
| Section | Items |
|---|---|
| Track | Dashboards · Timer · Inbox blank bookings |
| Manage | My Entries · Accounts · Reports · Budgets · Templates |
| System | Users · Backups · Cleanup · Import |
At the top of the sidebar you’ll find two quick actions:
- Start timer – opens the job picker dialog and starts a timer.
- Add booking – opens the form for a manual booking.
At the bottom are the theme switcher (light/dark), your profile (clicking your name/avatar opens the personal settings) and Log out.
Visibility by role: The items under System (Users, Backups, Cleanup) are only visible to admins; Import is visible to managers and above. More on this in Team & roles.
