Callout 1: People & approvals


**Time settings** is where the owner and admins with the **Time tracking** permission
set up how time works for the studio: each person's weekly capacity and rates, who
approves whose time, which projects each person can log to, and the days the studio
is closed. Open **Time**, then choose **Settings**.

## What you see here

- **People & approvals.** Weekly capacity, private rates and the reviewer for each member.
- **Projects.** Who can log time to each project, and its phases and tasks. Search with **Search projects**.
- **Holidays.** Dates the studio observes.

## People and approvers

Choose **Edit** on a person to change:

- **Timezone**, used for their days and weeks.
- **Capacity / week (hours)**, used for utilization and the capacity strip on their timesheet.
- **Billable / hour** and **Cost / hour**, used for billable value and margin.
- **OT multiplier**, applied to overtime billing.
- **Approver**, the teammate who reviews their weeks. Choose **No approver** to leave it to the owner and admins with the **Time tracking** permission.

Choose **Save** to apply the changes.

## Project phases and tasks

Open a project under **Projects** to manage **Access** (who can log time to it, and
their role: **Contributor**, **Project manager** or **Approver**), its **Phases** and its
**Tasks**. See [Project phases and tasks](https://docs.moodiri.com/time-tracking/set-up-project-phases-and-tasks).

## Holidays

Add each day the studio is closed with a **Date** and a **Name**, such as
*Thanksgiving*, then choose **Add holiday**. Holidays show on everyone's timesheet,
with a one-click option to log holiday time for that day. Choose **Remove** to take one
off.

## Limits

- Only the owner and admins with the **Time tracking** permission can open **Settings**. Anyone else is sent to **My time**.
- Weekly capacity must be between 0.25 and 168 hours.
- Rates must be empty or a non-negative number.
- A person can't be their own approver. Pick someone else, or leave it empty so the owner and admins with the **Time tracking** permission approve.

## Questions

### Who can see the rates I set here?

Rates are private to the owner and admins with the **Time tracking** permission. Team time and the timesheet never show them to the team.

### Why can't a teammate find a project in Log time?

They are not assigned to it. Open the project under **Projects** here and assign them.
