Troubleshooting Your Time Tracking Setup

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

Finding the “best affordable time tracking software” can be tricky. You want a solution that's genuinely useful, not just cheap. But even with the right choice, things don’t always go smoothly. This guide tackles common problems users encounter and outlines how to resolve them.

Registration Issues and Data Loss

One of the first hurdles many face is inaccurate or missing data during registration. Several factors can cause this:

• Incorrect Project/Task Selection: Double-check you’re assigning time to the correct project and task. Nureti’s quick registration options, including stopwatch and one-click attendance, are designed for speed, but it's easy to misclick. A well-defined project and task structure within Nureti is key. See our time tracking quick-start guide for best practices.
• Connectivity Problems: If you're using the desktop or mobile web app, inconsistent internet connectivity can interrupt registration. Data isn’s automatically synced. Regularly check your connection and sync manually if necessary.
• User Roles and Permissions: Sometimes, limitations stem from user roles. A “normal user” might not have the permission to edit past registrations. The administrator role, along with super user and group roles, control user privileges. Review user management settings, available at nureti.com/features/.
• Clocking In/Out Errors: Forget to clock out? This results in inaccurate reports. Consistent discipline is important, but Nureti's registration approvals feature allows administrators to verify and adjust entries if needed.

Reporting and Compliance Concerns

Data accuracy is useless if it's not readily accessible and usable. Here’s what to look out for when generating reports and maintaining compliance:

• Incorrect Report Filters: Ensure your report filters are set correctly. Selecting the wrong date range or project can skew results. Nureti’s statistics widget dashboard provides a clear overview of your tracked time, making it easy to identify discrepancies.
• Understanding the EU Working Time Directive (EWTD): For teams operating under the EWTD, compliance is critical. Nureti can actively monitor compliance nureti.com/eu-working-time-directive/. Familiarize yourself with the directive and how Nureti helps you meet its requirements.
• Exporting Report Issues: Occasionally, exporting reports to CSV can fail. This might be due to file size limitations or encoding issues. Try exporting smaller subsets of data or using a different CSV editor.
• Budgeting and Scheduling Conflicts: Project time tracking often reveals deviations from your budget or schedule. Project time tracking issues can often be resolved by adjusting task durations or reallocating resources.
