Timeline: At the top of the view is a week selector. You can change the day or week you are viewing by clicking on the desired date.
Action bar: Below the date, you will find buttons for different entry types (e.g., work hours, travel expenses).
Entry list: In the center of the view, you will see the events logged for the selected day.
Overview: On the right side is an overview panel (can be opened/closed), which shows an overview of work times and flextime.
Adding work hours and expenses
You can add work hour entries, absences, travel expenses, and other expenses to the system. You can perform the action by going to Hours > Select the correct day from the calendar > Press the desired add button (e.g., Add work hours).
