Tags can be organized into groups. For example, you can create a group for your customers or projects. But also other information like travel expenses or hourly rates can be mapped with the help of tags.

The Dashboard module offers you the possibility to create tables or charts. This way you can summarize all times that have been tagged with a certain keyword. There are various possibilities to prepare this information so that you can use it for further purposes such as invoicing. You also have the option of exporting this data to Excel or as a CSV file.

Composition: A tag is always composed of two components, the tag group and the name of the tag. For example, "Customer: Max Muster Ltd", "Customer: Peter Lustig". "Customer" would be the group in this case, the actual names of the customers form the tag name.
