Suggested time entries

The suggested time entries are designed to save the time and effort spent on reporting.

The suggested entry feature relies on Connectors and enabled Readers (source systems and their entities which PPM Express Time can analyze).

If you have added at least one Connector to your PPM Express Time account (for example Microsoft Office365 ), your work items (emails, recent documents, Outlook calendar events) will be analyzed throughout the workday in order to suggest possible time entries.

Please keep in mind, that due to the limitations of the Connectors, the suggested time entries are just the rough and approximate estimation of the tasks PPM Express Time can analyze and often require further editing before submitting your report.

PPM Express Time doesn’t track the duration of the tasks which could be used as time entries. Instead, the events with the timestamps received from the connected Readers are gathered together. After that, PPM Express Time uses advanced algorithms to attempt presenting the workday events and their approximate duration as suggested time entries.

The precision of the suggested time entries may drastically improve depending on the amount of the source systems connected to your PPM Express Time account and Readers enabled.

Please refer to Calculation Logic of Suggested Time Entries Duration article to find information about suggested time entries calculation.
