Sharing reports with clients

Give a customer a read-only link to a project's booked time and budget — no login required.

"Can you send us the hours for last month?" — you don't have to export anything. Every project can have a shared report link: a read-only web page showing the project's booked time, updated live, that you hand to anyone outside your workspace — typically the customer. No docket login required.

Open Project → Controlling → Timetrackings and click Share. Creating the link takes one decision — what the outside world gets to see:

  • Show budget — include money: the project budget and the value of the booked time. Off = the report shows hours only.
  • Show people — include who booked each entry. Off = entries appear without names, which some teams prefer for external audiences.

Copy the link and send it. The URL contains a long random token — it can't be guessed, and only people who have the link can open it.

What the customer sees

A clean, read-only report with:

  • an overview of the project's booked time (and budget, if enabled),
  • a monthly view to browse month by month,
  • the individual time entries with date, ticket and description — always the live state, never a stale export.

Nothing else: no navigation into your workspace, no other projects, no rates beyond what the flags allow.

Changing your mind

You stay in control after sending:

  • Change the flags any time (e.g. stop showing the budget) — the link stays the same, the visible data changes immediately.
  • Delete the link and it's dead the moment you do — anyone opening it gets nothing. You can always create a fresh one later.

Good to know

  • One link per project — sharing it with three people at the customer is fine; it's read-only either way.
  • The link shows booked time, not your Controlling internals: external costs, invoices and forecasts are never part of it.
