Overview

How reports work in TymzUp

Reports are built from saved time entries. Filters control what data is included, running the report refreshes the results, and exporting gives you a usable file based on the same view.

Reports start with saved entries

  • Only saved time entries appear in reports.
  • Filters determine what is included in the current view.
  • Running the report refreshes the data shown on screen.

Exports follow the current report view

  • Export uses the same filters and selections shown in the report.
  • The export gives you a file you can share or use outside the app.
  • This keeps review and output aligned.
Filters

Set up your report

The report filters decide what shows up in the results. Start with the right date range, then narrow the view if needed.

Date Range

Start Date / End Date

Defines the time period included in the report.

Scope

My Time or All Time

Use scope to control whether the report shows only your entries or a broader set, depending on your role.

Project

Specific project or all projects

Filter to one project when you need a focused report or leave it broader to review more activity.

Task

Optional breakdown

Use task as an extra filter when you need a more detailed breakdown inside a project.

Run Report

Run the report

After choosing your filters, click Run Report. The results update based on the current selections, and you can adjust filters and rerun at any time.

What to expect

Most reports include a table of entries along with summary totals so you can check both detail and overall activity.

  • Run the report with your current filters.
  • Review the entry table and the totals shown.
  • Adjust filters and rerun if the view is too broad or too narrow.
Results

Understand your results

The report view helps you see both the line-by-line detail and the overall totals for the filtered data set.

Entry details

  • Date
  • Project
  • Task
  • Hours
  • Notes

Summary metrics

  • Total entries
  • Total hours
  • Project count
Export

Export your report

Export uses the current report filters and selections. The output is intended to give you usable report data for sharing, record keeping, or deeper work outside the app.

What Export Uses

Current filters and selections

The export follows the same date range, scope, project, and task filters you used in the report view.

Output

CSV or spreadsheet-style data

Even if only one export format is available now, the output is meant for practical use outside the report screen.

Why Export

Use it when you need output

  • Billing support
  • Sharing
  • Analysis
  • Record keeping
Use Cases

When to export vs review in-app

Not every report needs to leave the app. Many checks are faster to do inside the report view first.

Review in App

Best for quick validation

  • Quick checks
  • Weekly validation
  • Internal visibility
Export

Best for output and sharing

  • Invoicing
  • Sharing with clients
  • Deeper analysis
  • Record keeping
Example

A simple reporting workflow

  1. Log time during the week.
  2. Run a report for that week.
  3. Review the totals and entry details.
  4. Export for billing or records if needed.

This keeps the workflow simple: capture time first, review it in reports, and only export when the output is actually needed.

Common Mistakes

Common reporting mistakes

  • Running reports without checking the date range
  • Forgetting filters are applied
  • Exporting before reviewing results
  • Over-filtering and missing data
  • Not reviewing totals before sharing
