The time logger uses buttons which only work when the whole workspace is shared with staff. If you’ve chosen to use the page-level sharing path instead, the standard time logger buttons won’t work. So in page templates you’ll need to use the collection in the toggle “Time logger when staff only have page-level access (Start button does not stop previous timer)”. Note that these Start and Stop buttons only affect the current page and do not stop other timers.

Time logging for staff that only have page-level access has not been set up for Projects. It is possible, and the design would be very similar to how it works for Tasks.

Choose your requirement

Time logging has been hidden to simplify your Notion experience when it is not required. If you do want to use time logging consider how it supports you. The time logger is automatically stopped when that person starts a new timer. By default there are three ways of manually stopping a timer.

1. Select one of the three stop buttons that tag that entry with a mood. Good, Meh, Bad
2. Select one of the three stop buttons that tag that entry with: Billable, Admin, Off-the-clock
3. Only have one stop button. This tags the entry as if it was stopped automatically, with “Auto stopped”

Edit the page templates in Tasks

In each of the page templates in tasks there is a toggle block at the bottom called “Not currently required”. In this you’ll find the collections of buttons and the Time logger views.

1. Drag the buttons you require to the top of the page template. They usually work best when arranged in columns.
2. Drag the Time logger views to sit under the buttons, not in a column.

Edit the dashboards

The dashboards can be found in the Staff page template in the People database.

Similar to what was done in the Tasks page templates, find the buttons and Time logger views you require, and drag them close to the top of each dashboard page.

You will need to go to each staff member’s dashboard and repeat the same steps.

Edit the required tasks

Editing page templates does not do anything to the pages that had already been created using those page templates.

Decide if you’re going to update all remaining task pages, some important ones, or just use the time logger going forward.
