Data in Cloud depends on accurate time entries, which form the basis of many other Cloud functions such as measuring productivity and billing clients. Since pending entries must be finalized before they can be recorded as billable or non-billable time, it is important to finalize the time entries you create as quickly as possible.

You can display all current pending entries for your organization by generating a Time Pending report, and finalize them using the Time app.
