Step 1: Go to the Reports Module

From the left-hand navigation menu, open Reports.

Once inside, scroll to the very last section on the page:

Time Card Report

This section contains six different report options for time tracking.

---

Step 2: Select “Time Activity (Most Popular)”

You will see six report types, but the one we recommend is:

Time Activity – Most Popular

Next to it, click the blue View button.

This will open a new pop-up window with the report filters.

Step 3: Set Your Filters

Inside the pop-up window, you will see several sections that let you customize your report:

---

Date Range

By default, Contractor Foreman automatically shows:

• Last 7 days
  …which is perfect for generating a weekly report.

You can change the dates if you need a specific week.

---

Employees

This is where you choose the employee(s) for the report.

• Select one employee for an individual weekly time card report
• Select multiple if you need a broader report
• Leave blank to pull ALL employees

---

Projects (Optional)

You can narrow the results by project.

Important:

• If you don’t select any projects, the report will include all projects where the employee logged time.

---

Step 4: Enable Optional Columns (If Applicable)

If your company uses additional data fields inside Time Cards, you can enable them here:

• Employee Number
• Event Tax
• Project Number
• Cost Code ID
• Overtime Code

And select the rate you want it to be applied.

• Labor Rate (what the employee earns per hour)
• Billing Rate (what you charge clients per hour)
• Burden Rate (the true cost of the employee per hour)

Enabling only what you need keeps the report clean and tailored.

Step 5: Choose the Hours Format

You can group the hours by:

• Employee
• Project
• Cost Code
• Day
• None

For weekly time cards, Group by Day or Group by Project is very commonly used.

Step 6: Additional Filters (Optional)

You will also find other optional filters, such as:

• Tags
• Cost Code
• Project Type
• Project Status

These are useful if you want highly refined data for accounting or payroll.

Step 7: Choose Report Format

At the bottom, pick how you want to export the report:

• Excel (recommended)
