Welcome to Sandtime.io: first setup checklist

If you are setting up Sandtime.io for the first time, the fastest path is:

1. Create or join the correct organization.
2. Add the projects people will report time against.
3. Invite teammates and confirm their roles.
4. Review Settings > Time tracking, especially Core hours and Locking timesheets.
5. Open Reports and save one or two views you expect to use often.

Recommended first settings

• Set Core hours so dashboard goals reflect the expected workday.
• Decide whether timesheets should auto-lock after each week.
• Review notification preferences for overlap warnings and goal reminders.
• Mark projects as billable or non-billable before people start reporting.

Useful next steps

• Use the built-in timer for day-to-day tracking.
• If your team works on Saturdays or Sundays, enable weekend logging.
• If you need approvals, set up timesheet approvals.
• If you report to clients, build a custom report.

Need a clean starting point?

Keep the first setup simple. Sandtime.io works best when projects, roles, and core hours are correct from the start. You can refine reports and workflows later without rebuilding the basics.
