What changes for your team
- In the day view, the field says Notes (required). Saving hours or starting a timer without notes shows Notes are required in this account: write what you worked on.
- Editing an entry needs notes too, so older entries without notes get some when they're changed.
- Clicking Start on an entry without notes asks you to open the entry and add notes first.
- In the week view, a box above the grid explains the rule. The hours of time already in the grid can still be changed; new time has to be added from the day view.
- Time imported from Harvest and entries saved before you turned it on stay as they are.
