Settings, core hours, and dashboard goals

Core hours define the default start and end of the workday in Sandtime.io. They also set the expected daily, weekly, and monthly goals shown on the dashboard.

Where to change it

Open Settings > Time tracking > Core hours.

Why this matters

If someone works part-time, the dashboard should not still assume a full 40-hour week. Adjusting Core hours updates the expected goal automatically.

Examples:

• 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM produces an 8-hour day.
• 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM produces a 6-hour day and a 30-hour week.

Related settings worth checking

• Locking timesheets if you want weeks to close automatically.
• Rounding if reported durations should be presented in rounded intervals.
• Notification settings if you want goal or overlap alerts to be quieter.
