Adding descriptions to your timesheet

In Clockk, adding descriptions is entirely optional—but it can be incredibly helpful.

Why add a description?

Descriptions help you remember what you worked on, at a glance. That makes it easier to explain your time to:

  • Yourself (especially when reviewing your day or week),
  • Your boss,
  • Or your client.

They provide context that’s often hard to capture with project names alone.

Where can you add a description?

You have two options:

1. Project-level descriptions (for the day) ✅ Recommended

This gives you a quick way to summarize your work without a lot of effort.

2. Block-level descriptions (for a specific block of time)

Use this when a block is different from the rest of the day. For example:

You worked on the client website most of the day, but spent 2 hours updating their online catalogue—that block deserves its own description.

How to add a description

In the Activity View, under each project column, you’ll see:

  • “Add Description 💬” at the bottom, or
  • A shortened version like “Add 💬” or just “💬”, depending on your screen size.
Add Description 💬
Add 💬
💬

Click that link and type in what you worked on.

When to write or review it

When you lock in your day, Clockk gives you a final chance to:

  • Add any missing descriptions, or
  • Review what you’ve already written.

This ensures your timesheet is clear and accurate before you generate reports or send invoices.
