Accountants know how much time they spend on a task
The estimation can be added to the task, a plan, or a template.
To activate the time estimation feature, navigate to Settings, select your company, and click on Settings. Then, activate the option 'Set the estimation as the time if the exact value is not entered.'
Don't forget to save your preferences.
By adding an estimation:
To a task - it only applies to that specific task.
To a plan - it applies to a recurring task in a specific customer plan.
To a template - it applies to all customers to which this template is added.
To add an estimation to a task, open the task, then click on the icon with the three dots in the right-hand corner and select 'Add estimation.'
An "Estimation" window will appear for the task. You can enter a time of choice or select it from the drop-down menu.

Estimations help you organize your working day. The estimation is visible in the calendar view in the top right corner of the day. Same-day estimates are summed, so you can see how much time you're likely to spend on tasks in the morning.
By selecting "Set the estimated time for a task if the exact time is not entered" in the task settings, you don't need to enter a separate time for tasks if the estimation is available. Read more about setting up time tracking.
