A Mikron records time you worked. It holds the person, project, category, date, start and end times, and description. A category describes the kind of work.
Set up an organization first if you need a project and category. This guide covers drafts, saved work and review.
Enter work in the form or calendar
Open Mikrons and select Form | Calendar. Type cards in the form, or draw and adjust time blocks in the calendar. The calendar opens in day view on small screens.
- Choose the project and category. Select a task or ticket where needed. Some projects require an active task.
- Check the date and times. Describe the work if your organization requires it.
- Use Add Mikron for another form card. Draw another calendar block or select Add entry.
- Check the entries and select Save. Correct marked fields.
The form’s initial suggested card becomes a draft only when changed. Select a saved calendar entry to edit it.
Drafts and timer
A draft is an unsaved entry. The form and calendar share drafts in the same browser and organization. Drafts survive closing the page and logging out. Other browsers and devices cannot see them.
If the browser cannot keep drafts, save before leaving.
A running timer measures work as it happens. Select Start timer and choose the project and category. When finished, select Stop timer, check the draft and save.
One timer runs at a time for your membership and organization in this browser. Stopping rounds the end and an unchanged start to the nearest five minutes. The timer remains unsaved until stopped and saved.
Reuse entry details
A Mikron template holds a project, category, description, optional duration and optional task or ticket. It prepares new work and is separate from an invoice layout.
Select the bookmark icon at the top right to create or change templates. Their coloured buttons appear in both views. A template fills a form card or adds a calendar draft. Without a saved duration, the calendar uses two hours. Check the date, times and assignments; choose any missing category before saving.
Hours and intervals
Your hours combines saved work and drafts. A Work schedule supplies expected weekday hours when configured.
Today so far separates projects by colour, with solid saved hours and striped drafts. The calendar shows daily and weekly totals. Rejected work and leave do not count as worked time. The time and leave report separately includes absence credit.
Records must last more than zero minutes and at most 24 hours. They can cross midnight; check the displayed end date. One person’s records cannot overlap within the same project, though touching intervals are allowed. Different projects can overlap and count in full.
Saved timesheets and CSV
Timesheets groups saved work by month. Open it from the organization menu and expand a month. Use Show older for earlier history when no explicit range is set.
Filter by project, member or dates, or search text with the quick filter. Access limits the available records.
Open a month’s menu for Details or Export CSV. Details groups hours. CSV exports record information and review status for the selected period and filters. See the timesheet screen.
Review and forwarding
Review marks work unreviewed, accepted or rejected. With write-level manager access, use an entry’s review-status control. For monthly actions, select Review month, choose Approve, Reject or Un-reviewed, inspect matching records and apply.
Filters limit the reviewed subset. Permissions and processing state can restrict changes.
Forwarding passes accepted work to a partner organization for its own review. Authorized managers and accountants can use an entry’s forward arrow or Forward in Review month. Member and project-member settings can automate acceptance or forwarding, including inherited settings.
The host reviews forwarded work separately. Client billing can wait for forwarding and host acceptance; personal billing needs local acceptance. See the partnership sequence and invoice eligibility.
Protected work
Processed work has a billing claim locally or along its forwarding chain. It cannot be edited or deleted, even when the other organization’s invoice is hidden.
Ending a membership or shared relationship can retain historical copies. These are not additional worked hours. Inspect the record’s state and ask the responsible reviewer or accountant when a control is unavailable.
Time recording, review and forwarding remain available when financial management is disabled. Record time from a ticket or compare hours with project targets.
