How to record hours on a drawing or general task, check My Hours, and what managers see on Team Hours.
Intent: Explain logging time in a way that a new team member can follow without prior Beech context.
Who this helps: Architecture studio admins, managers, and contributors who need a repeatable operational workflow.
Time in Beech is logged on the task, not in a separate timesheet app. Those entries roll up to your week, the project, and the manager view.
On a task
Open a drawing or general task. Under Time logged, click + Log time. Date defaults to today (past allowed, future not). Hours are decimal — 2.5 is two hours thirty minutes, and the helper text spells that out. An optional note is for what you actually did.
You can log more than once on the same day. Edit or delete your own entries only. The task shows a running total.
My Hours and Team Hours
Profile menu → My Hours is your week: daily bars, entries by day and project, a project strip. Managers and Admins also get Team Hours under More — who logged what this week.
Prerequisites
- Confirm you can access the project and the page referenced in this workflow.
- Collect any drawing references, due dates, and ownership details before you start.
Expected outcome
By the end of this workflow, your team has one visible, repeatable process and cleaner handovers.
Common mistakes and prevention
Mistake 1: Skipping context fields (owner, due date, status notes), which makes follow-up harder.
Mistake 2: Treating chat updates as source of truth instead of recording the update in Beech.
