How to track time for a client

Time entries you create on the Timer page can be directly associated with a project or task. However, to connect your time to a client you must make a connection through a project. Linking time directly with a client (without a project) isn't possible.

Tracking time for a specific client

1. Open the Projects page and create a project. Visit this article for step-by-step instructions.
2. In the "Create new project" popup, click on the "Client" field and either choose an existing client or click on the "Add new client" button to create a new one.
3. Visit the Timer page and start the timer. Click on the Projects button and select the project-client pair you just created.
4. Your time will now be connected to both the project and the client.

Keep in mind

• If you don't have a need for both projects and clients add your clients as projects into Toggl Track. Visit the data structure article for more details about this.
• You may have multiple projects with the same name. The only condition is that they are associated with different clients.
