We need to track the actual time spent on each task (daily and/or weekly) in addition to the percentage completed (gantt) . Any ideas how I can configure that?
Hi,
You'd have to add it manually.
Do you want to keep everything on one row per task? How many tasks and how many people?
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

I need this too!
The cell value could be totaled or at least see/enter hrs spent on task(s) per day.
The GREATEST realization of this would be ability to add a number to a day cell in calendar portion of timeline.
Is this functionality inherently not possible per SSheet data-handling and display structure at code-level?
Thanks
@AMETICO , @K_Vento - were you able to acheive this? i am stuck there too…
@Andrée Starå below is the requirement - if your able to still support:
I have two columns in my sheet, one that is ACTUAL HOURS, and one that is WORKED HOURS.
Every time users enter worked hours, the workflow automation takes those hours into that user timesheet, and then clear the WORKED HOURS column so that user can re-enter other hours at any later point of time… at the end of the task (when we complete it), I want to know all the hours spent on this task, and that would be the comulative WORKED HOURS… I would like Actual Hours to be updated on the go whenever Worked Hours are added.
Ex:
Day 1-
Actual Hours = 0
Worked Hours = 5
*Missing* —> Actual Hours = 0+Worked Hours = 5
workflow clears Worked Hours —> Worked Hours = 0
workflow clears Worked Hours
Day 2-
Actual Hours = 5
Worked Hours = 3
*Missing* —> Actual Hours = 5+Worked Hours = 8
Hi, I hope you're well and safe! I've shared an example with you. Would that work/help? I hope that helps! Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
