Wondering if there is the capability of capturing "time" in forms and sheets. I would like field engineers to log what time they arrived on site, then left via a Time field. I would then like the master sheet to calculate time spent on site.
Hi Stuart, while you can set task durations in time (down to the second) and perform calculations off this data, there isnt a built in method to display start and and times for tasks, although you can display this manually in a Text/Number column.
A time column is somehting our Product team is looking into for future releases and I will add your vote for it.
Chuck, if you only want to show duration, you can enable dependencies and use the duration column. It can track weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds (and any combination of those).
This would require a start and end date column in your sheet, but the end date column can be hidden if you do not need it.
User can add a start date and duration in web form, just use the first letting of the duration type:
Ok, I found it. Classic case of submit something for help, then find the answer. I think what may have happened previously, is that I turned on all the filters, but since there isn't one for a Deleted Row, maybe the Deleted Row was hidden.
