How to Onboard Your Team to Logged in Under 30 Minutes

The biggest barrier to adopting any new tool is the initial setup. If it takes too long or feels too complicated, team members will resist the change. That is why we designed Logged to get your team from signup to first time entry in under 30 minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Projects (5 minutes)

Start by creating the projects your team will track time against. Each project needs a name and a description. The description is important because it provides context for AI report generation later. If you have existing project structures in spreadsheets, you can transfer the information quickly.

Step 2: Send Invitations (2 minutes)

Go to the Team page and enter the email addresses of your team members. You can send multiple invitations at once. Each person receives an email with a link to create their account and join your team.

Step 3: Set Up Budgets (5 minutes, optional)

If you are tracking against granted hours, create your budgets and link them to the relevant projects. Enter the granted hours, effective dates, and any reference numbers. The system will automatically start tracking consumption as hours are logged.

Step 4: First Team Meeting (15 minutes)

Walk your team through the calendar view. Show them how to create a time entry: click on a day, select a project, set the time range, and write a description. Demonstrate the auto-suggestion feature that appears after a few entries. Explain the weekly submission process and what happens during approval.

Tips for Driving Adoption

Make it part of the daily routine by encouraging end-of-day logging. Use the auto-suggestion feature to show that repeat entries take just seconds. Celebrate the first approved week as a milestone. And resist the urge to over-customize -- the default workflow is designed to be simple enough for immediate adoption.
