Nagaris records time as timesheet entries - each one has a date, a duration, a job and task, a staff member, and optional notes. There are three ways to log time, from a five second quick entry to a full weekly grid.
The fastest path is the Log Time panel:
Hover Timesheets in the sidebar and click the +, then Log Timesheet. You can also pin Log Timesheet to the sidebar's split button (⌘N).
Or click the clock on any task row of a job. The client, job, and task are prefilled.
The panel asks for:
Client: search clients.
Job / Task: search jobs or tasks. This narrows to the chosen client. When a job has several tasks with the same name (for example a recurring quarterly service), each option in the list shows its client and period label so you can tell them apart, and the field shows the full label on hover if it's too long to fit.
Date: defaults to today.
Staff: defaults to you if your Nagaris login is linked to a staff record. You can log on behalf of others.
Time: enter a start and end time and Nagaris calculates the duration, or type the duration directly as h:mm or as decimal hours. End must be after start.
Notes: for example, Review quarterly balance sheet and reconciliations.
Billable status: once you pick a task, a badge shows Billable or Non-billable based on the service. Time on non-billable tasks carries no dollar value in WIP and reports.
Rate: optionally set a custom dollars per hour for this entry. Leave it blank to use the staff member's normal billable rate. If you set a custom rate, click Use default to revert.
Click Save Entry to save and close, or Save & Add Another to keep the panel open with the same client and job. Clear resets the form. An entry needs a job, a task, a staff member, and a time greater than zero before the save buttons enable.
Go topen Timesheets in the sidebar. The page uses on the My tab. Add Time and Save and Close sit at the top of the page next to the My timesheet / Team / All entries tabs. The workspace itself has:
Arrow buttons and a Today button to move between days or weeks, plus a calendar picker.
Daily and Weekly modes. Nagaris remembers which one you last used and reopens it next time.
A staff selector (defaults to you. Choose All staff to see everyone’s entries).
A job status filter (defaults to Active jobs), a State filter for your XPM job states (defaults to All states) and, for XPM-connected firms, an XPM status filter (defaults to Submitted Only). These control which jobs the pickers offer.
A Columns button on the right of the toolbar for choosing which optional columns show.
Your staff, job status, State and XPM status filter choices on My timesheet are remembered for the rest of your browser session, so they're still set if you navigate away and come back. They reset when you start a new session (for example, after closing the browser).
In Daily mode, each row is one entry with Time, Client, Job / Task and Notes columns, plus a running Total. Start and End are optional columns S; with both turned En, fhem in auto-calculates the duration and the Time field locks. Staff and Rate are also optional columns, hidden by default since most people log their own time at their standard rate. Press Tab from the last row's notes to add a new row, or click Add Time.
In Weekly mode, each row is a client, job, and task combination with one duration cell per day, plus a per-row Total and Daily Totals across the bottom. Today's date is highlighted in the header. Staff and Rate are optional columns hidden by default, and a Weekends option in Columns shows or hides Saturday and Sunday.
In both modes, the Job / Task picker lists a client and period label (for example a client name or Jul-Sep 2026) next to each task so that same-named tasks in a shared job aren't ambiguous. The dropdown widens to fit long job and task names on larger screens, and repositions itself if your field sits too close to the edge of the window.
If some rows fail to save (for example a temporary network issue), Nagaris still saves everything else and tells you how many entries could not be saved so you can try again, rather than discarding the whole batch.
Click Save to write your changes. You will see Timesheet saved.
Nagaris autosaves in-progress rows to your browser. If your session locks or you sign in again, My timesheet restores your unsaved draft for the same day or week and staff.
If you change the date, switch Daily or Weekly, or change the staff filter while you have unsaved rows, Nagaris asks whether to discard the draft or stay on the current view.
My timesheet loads up to 500 entries for the selected period. If you have more, narrow the staff filter or date range.
130 becomes 1:30.
2 becomes 2:00.
1.5 becomes 1:30.
Clock fields accept 830 as 8:30.
Everything normalises when you leave the field.
The pickers list clients with their jobs and tasks. By default, XPM-connected firms see jobs on Active engagements plus jobs with No status, and only jobs already Submitted to XPM. If a job you expect is missing, widen the job status filter or set the XPM filter to Show all. You can also narrow (or widen) the list by XPM job State using the State filter next to the other toolbar filters. Firms without an XPM connection see all jobs by default.
You must pick a task, not just a job. In the quick Log Time panel, selecting a job picks its first task automatically, which you can change.
You can log time against any local job even before it syncs to XPM.
Client-role users do not have timesheets. The feature is staff-only.
You can set a custom dollars per hour on an individual entry. Leave it blank to use the staff member's normal rate.
Use the Columns button to show Start, End, Staff and Rate in Daily mode, or Staff, Rate and Weekends in Weekly mode. Your choice is remembered for next time.
