The number of templates and ease of use of the working time management software itself are a measure of a working time management The basic elements of the software are similar to aceteamwork, Nuoming Software, etc., but there are also project management software such as UniPro and PingCode, which embed the work-hour management module into the software function module to directly match the user's industry scenario. UniPro is also low-cost because of its low cost. The technical features of the code platform realize the ease of use of working time management and give customers the greatest degree of convenience.

In order to improve the level of visualization, in addition to the text record on the left, the same page also has working hours details displayed by the progress bar. Managers can analyze and judge the labor cost input and output of a project or a task based on specific dates. View In addition, you can also directly fill in the working hours and work schedule on the visual interface. Department managers usually view the working hours details of people invested in a project from a "project-user" perspective, so as to understand the input and cost of a project or task, which facilitates the department's planning of project investment strategies and adjustment decisions.
For working time management, it is not only possible to use tables for primary recording and manual summary.
