People & Team Management Handbook Review employee capacity, hours, overtime and availability from one smart view.

The People page is your one-stop shop for managing teams. You can monitor individual capacity, see who’s logged their hours and ensure everyone’s working to your priorities. Understanding how people spend their time also helps you distribute workloads and allocate resources effectively to hit your targets, every time.

The People page overview

Click on a user’s name from here to access their individual user page, where you can review or report on their activities.

Learn about the Capacity feature. If you’re on the Company or Professional plan or any of our team plans, get to know the Control feature here.

Users

Your People page displays a list of all active users on the account. It represents everyone who is eligible to log hours or who has been invited to join your account. You’ll see a running total number of users on the account at the very top.

Users list on the People page

Search for users

Typing user names or email addresses into the search bar will auto-populate their names. Selecting their name automatically redirects you to their individual dashboard, where you can see their activity, review user details, edit user permissions, and create a sharable or exportable report!

Searching for users

Active and deleted users

Can’t find an active user? This can be an indication that they’ve been deleted; check the deleted users list.

Active and deleted users toggle

On the top right-hand side of the Users list, you’ll see a drop-down menu showing “Active users”. To see users who are no longer on your account, open the drop-down and select “deleted users”.

Adding and deleting users

Add a user by clicking the “+New user” button in the upper right-hand corner of the People main page. This takes you to the ‘Invite New User’ page, where you can set the user access level, assign them to projects, set their rates and add them to a team.

Invite new user page

Users invited to a Timely account will receive an email to activate their account. Once they’ve activated it they’ll be tracking time and logging hours in no time!

Made a mistake? No biggie! Edit their permissions anytime from the Individual user page.

How do I delete a user?

Remove a user from an account by clicking the ”…” or quick action button. You won’t lose their data; deleted user information will remain on your account so you can generate reports for projects they’ve worked on.
