How to Use the Timesheet Card in ClickUp

The Timesheet card in ClickUp helps you quickly review, filter, and export tracked time for yourself or your Workspace members. This how-to guide walks you step by step through setting up, customizing, and using the Timesheet card effectively.

What the ClickUp Timesheet Card Does

The Timesheet card is a flexible time reporting widget you can add to Dashboards. It pulls together time entries tracked on tasks and shows them in a clear, filterable view.

With the Timesheet card in ClickUp you can:

See how much time users tracked over a selected period
Filter by people, tasks, Locations, labels, and more
Quickly switch between your own time and your Workspace members’ time
Export time entries to CSV for reporting or payroll
Compare estimated time with tracked time using filters and columns

Requirements to Use the ClickUp Timesheet Card

Before you add or use the Timesheet card in ClickUp, make sure your Workspace meets these requirements.

Plan, permissions, and billing

The Timesheet card is available on Dashboards for all paid ClickUp plans that support time tracking and advanced reporting.
You must have permission to create or edit Dashboards and widgets in your Workspace.
To see other users’ time, you need access to the Spaces, Folders, and Lists where their tracked tasks live.

Check your Workspace role and permissions with your admin if you cannot add or configure Dashboard cards.

Add a Timesheet Card in ClickUp

Use these steps to add the Timesheet card to a Dashboard in ClickUp.

Open the Dashboard where you want to display time data.
Click + Add widget (or a similar button that adds cards to the Dashboard).
In the widget library, locate the Timesheet card under time reporting or time tracking widgets.
Select the Timesheet card and click Add or Create.
Choose the initial configuration options, such as which users and Locations to include.
Save your changes to add the Timesheet card to the Dashboard.

After the card is added, you can resize or reposition it just like other Dashboard widgets in ClickUp.

Configure ClickUp Timesheet Card Settings

Once the Timesheet card is on your Dashboard, customize it so it shows exactly the data you need.

Select users and teams in ClickUp

Control whose time entries appear on the card:

Current user: Show only your own time entries.
Specific users: Select one or more individual members.
Teams: Include specific teams to see all time tracked by their members.
Everyone: Review Workspace-wide tracked time, subject to your access rights.

Use these user filters to build focused views, such as “Design team this week” or “My time today.”

Choose Locations and task filters

Refine what the Timesheet card in ClickUp displays by narrowing down Locations and tasks.

Locations: Filter by Spaces, Folders, or Lists to show only relevant projects.
Task status: Include or exclude tasks by their status, such as Open, In Progress, or Closed.
Labels and tags: Filter by labels that mark client, project, or billable categories.
Custom fields: Use task custom fields as filters, when available, to create more precise reports.

Combining user and Location filters helps you create targeted views, such as time for a specific client project over a certain date range.

Set the time range in ClickUp

The Timesheet card lets you view tracked time for flexible time periods.

Common options include:

Today
Yesterday
This week or last week
This month or last month
Custom date range

Pick the range that matches your reporting needs, for example a billing cycle, sprint period, or weekly timesheet review.

Work with Timesheet Data in ClickUp

After configuration, the Timesheet card in ClickUp presents time entries in a detailed list or table layout.

Understand the Timesheet layout

Depending on your setup, you typically see columns such as:

User: Who tracked the time.
Task: Task name and link to open the task.
List / Folder / Space: Where the task lives.
Date: When the time was logged.
Duration: Amount of time tracked.
Description or notes: Optional notes added when tracking time.

You can usually sort by columns like date, duration, or user to quickly find and review entries.

Edit and manage time entries

If your permissions allow it, you can manage time entries directly from the Timesheet card in ClickUp.

Edit the duration of an existing time entry.
Update the date or description.
Delete incorrect or duplicate entries.
Open the associated task to change task details or status.

Use this to clean up timesheets before exporting or sharing reports with stakeholders.

Export Timesheet Data from ClickUp

The Timesheet card offers export options so you can share data with clients, managers, or payroll tools.

Export to CSV

To export time data from the Timesheet card in ClickUp:

Apply all desired filters for users, Locations, and date range.
Click the Export or Download option in the Timesheet card menu.
Choose CSV as the export format.
Save the file to your computer.
Open the CSV in your spreadsheet or accounting tool.

Because the export respects your current filters, confirm the Timesheet view matches what you expect before running the export.

Best Practices for ClickUp Timesheet Reporting

Use these recommendations to keep your Timesheet card in ClickUp accurate and helpful.

Standardize time tracking rules: Agree on how your team logs time, including naming conventions for tasks and labels.
Encourage daily logging: Ask team members to track time every day so Timesheet data stays current.
Use consistent labels: Create repeatable labels for clients, billable work, and internal work.
Lock permissions where needed: Limit who can edit or delete time entries when you use the Timesheet for billing.
