To change your password:

  1. Click on your profile name or avatar in the navigation

Configure Your Timezone

Setting the correct timezone is essential for accurate time tracking. Navigate to your profile settings and select your timezone from the dropdown. All time entries and reports will use this timezone.

Tip: If your team spans multiple timezones, each user should set their own timezone. Reports will normalize times accordingly.
