Post Outlook Appointments To Your Timesheet
Timewatch’s OutlookTime® system is an Outlook timesheet allows people to turn Outlook appointments into timesheets and Outlook into a timesheet system.
Users love it because it makes timesheet entry faster and easier. Companies love it because their employees can do everything from within Outlook using data they already have in Outlook. It’s simple, it’s easy, and most importantly it’s faster – saving each employee 2-4 hours a week – time better spent on productive or chargeable work.
There was only one problem, OutlookTime® was a plug-in that was only available to users of Outlook on Windows. Now we’ve solved that.
With the next release of Timewatch’s time tracking software, our Outlook timesheet will also be available to users of Outlook Web Access, which means Mac time tracking is now a reality. The system supports both Chrome and Edge browsers and will be available for download from Timewatch as well as from the Chrome Web Store.
The new Outlook Chrome extension offers the same advanced timesheet functionality as the Outlook for Windows desktop edition and will be free to all users of OutlookTime®.
How Does it Work?
It couldn’t be easier to use. Users simply install the Chrome extension and log in to Outlook. They’ll be asked to validate their account and will then be able to post Outlook appointments to their timesheet.

How to Post Outlook Appointments to a Timesheet
It is easy! Just click on an appointment, assign a customer, project or whatever your organization needs to track time to, then click ‘Add to timesheet’. That’s it!
Posted appointments are colored grey so users can quickly see which appointments have been posted to their timesheet and which haven’t. A live progress chart provides a clear perspective on how complete a timesheet is, and there is the option of easily adding non-appointment time as well.
Advanced Features
OutlookTime® couldn’t be simpler for Timewatch users but there’s a lot more under the hood for administrators, project and account managers and business leaders. The system is scalable from tens to thousands of users and boasts powerful administration, analysis, reporting, integration and customization features.
It can even be integrated as a front end for other companies that use enterprise solutions that don’t have Outlook timesheet functionality.
Saves Time, Saves Money
Time tracking Outlook integration saves time, and OutlookTime® typically saves employees between 1-2 hours a week. That’s a saving of up to a day a month that employees could be spending on productive or billable tasks.
