Hi Cameron,

A question. Is it possible to add a block to the task options which contains the hours worked on the shot? I notice that the percentage complete isn't really what we want. What I would like best would be an option next to the estimated time which contains the number of hours already worked on the task. Is there a way that I can add something like this to my tasks?

thanx!

greetings!

    Hi Kasper,

    I could add an hours worked field easy enough to tasks -- but what I suspect that won't be enough. Aren't you also going to need to display and report on those numbers?

    Time tracking is one of the more often-requested enhancements, but unfortunately is a slippery slope. (Whole companies have been built around time tracking -- its a big job.)

    I'm attaching a time tracking spec that I put some work into. You can see why I'm hesitant to open this particular Pandora's box.

    Maybe if we could start with something very simple... have a look at this: http://basecamphq.com/demos/time

    Cheers,
    Cameron
